A love scam, allegedly resulting in a RM260,000 loss for a family, may have led to the murder of a woman and her two children in Desa ParkCity, according to Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus. The 48-year-old father left a note expressing remorse over his wife's involvement in the scam, which he believed was excessive.
The wife was allegedly attempting to contact the scammer further, which reportedly distressed the suspect and made him feel ashamed in front of his children. Following the suicide, police discovered the bodies of the 47-year-old wife and her two children, aged 9 and 7, with severe injuries to their necks in separate rooms of their home.
Police found a knife and gloves believed to be linked to the killings in the master bedroom. Post-mortem examinations were conducted, with the results expected to be released throughout the day.
