  "summary": "A 43-year-old man, Mohd Nasir Ismail, died after being bludgeoned with a hammer by his mentally ill younger brother in Marang, Malaysia. The incident occurred in Kampung Tasek, where the victim's mother, Hasnah Sulong, 63, heard screams and struggled sounds from another part of the house. Hasnah's second child, 42-year-old Affendi, who has a history of mental health issues, is suspected to be involved in the attack. Another child, 36-year-old Rurazmiza, sustained back injuries while trying to intervene in the fight. This tragedy recalls a similar incident 12 years ago when Hasnah's husband was stabbed by the same son, but the family continued to care for and live with him. Marang District Police Chief Supt Saari Mohamed confirmed the incident.",
