Son, two women arrested after wheelchair-bound father dies following alleged abuse
SEREMBAN: Police have arrested three family members, including the son of a wheelchair-bound elderly man who died after allegedly being abused at a flat in Rasah Jaya, Seremban.
Three family members, including a son and his wife, have been arrested in connection with the alleged abuse and death of a 63-year-old wheelchair-bound man, K. Balakrishnan, in Rasah Jaya, Seremban. The deceased died from blunt force trauma to the head, according to the death certificate. The suspects, aged between 28 and 34, are believed to have been staying with the family for nearly two years.
The case came to light after a video showing the elderly man being force-fed and struck with a rubber hose went viral on social media. The video was allegedly recorded by the deceased's sister-in-law, who shared it with a friend. Police have classified the case as murder pending the outcome of a post-mortem examination. The suspects have been remanded until November 12 for further investigation.
