The 48-year-old man, along with his 47-year-old wife and two children, took their own lives at the residential unit. Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Fadil Marsus stated the suspect expressed regret over his wife's alleged involvement with the scammer, which he claimed had left him with financial burdens. The note, found in the main bedroom, indicated the suspect felt ashamed in front of their children after the situation worsened.

Authorities were alerted to the incident at 3.32pm, and a post-mortem examination confirmed all three victims sustained severe neck injuries.",
