KL family of 4 found dead, husband left note claiming wife lost S$82,000 to love scammer
Police are investigating the deaths of the 47-year-old woman and her two children as murder.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a family of four - a 48-year-old man, his 47-year-old wife, and their two young children - were found dead at their residence in Desa ParkCity. The police have ruled their deaths as murder after conducting post-mortem examinations.
A note believed to have been left by the 48-year-old man claimed that his family had suffered significant financial losses, totaling RM260,000 (S$82,049), due to his wife's alleged contact with a love scammer.
Upon receiving a report of a man possibly having fallen from a residential building, police arrived at the scene around 3:32pm on August 27. They were subsequently met by the distressing sight of three individuals deceased in separate rooms, all suffering from serious neck injuries. A five-centimeter stab wound was discovered on the nine-year-old girl's neck, and a knife, along with a pair of gloves, were found in the main bedroom, believed to have been used in the killings.
Commissioner Fadil Marsus of Kuala Lumpur police confirmed that the husband, a company director, expressed regret in the note over what he believed was his wife's involvement with the scammer. The husband was later found dead from a fall from the building. The police are currently investigating the tragic incident as a case of murder.
