Police say the deaths of five family members at a house in Kuantan this morning are being investigated as a suspected family murder case.
Pahang police chief Yahaya Othman said initial investigations indicate a 32-year-old man was involved in injuring his 28-year-old wife, 55-year-old mother and two daughters aged three and four.
The bodies were found at a house in Lorong Cerating Damai, Kuantan.
Police said the bodies of the man, his wife and their children were discovered in a bedroom, while his mother’s body was found in the kitchen.
Several victims were found with visible injuries. The incident was discovered by the suspect’s 15-year-old younger brother, who immediately sought help.
Police revealed the man had returned to Kuantan about a month ago after leaving his job in Selangor and had only started working locally a week ago.
Investigations are ongoing, and the motive has yet to be determined.
