He also revealed that neighbours who heard the commotion in the family's house sent her to the hospital.
New Straits Times reported that police were alerted by the hospital about the death of the woman. After that, an investigation team rushed to the victim's house at Kampung Sandak, Batu 10 to find that the husband and children had run away.
The police arrested the husband at 6.30am yesterday following a tip-off
He was found at a house in an oil palm estate at Jalan Settlement, Batu 12.
According to Free Malaysia Today, Azhar said that the man will be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
