KAJANG: A man who slashed his 7-year old daughter to death and seriously injured his two other children, aged 10 and 12, has been arrested.
The man was found by police lying at the side of a river, about 300-metre from his house in Bandar Baru Bangi here.
He was found writhing in pain with serious head injuries. He apparently
suffered the injury while trying to jump over the river.
Selangor Police deputy chief DCP Datuk Abd Rahim Jaafar said the incident happened about 4.15pm.
Initial investigations showed the man had armed himself with a parang
when his second daughter, aged 15, came home and heard noises coming
from inside the house.
She was shocked after seeing her father acting aggressively and immediately started screaming for help.
Her brother, who had locked himself in a room at the top floor of their house shouted at her to run for her life.
The girl then managed to join her brother in the room where they locked themselves and called the police.
By the time police arrived, they found the three girls lying in a pool of blood.
The 7-year old was already dead while the other two girls were lying unconscious with numerous slash wounds.
Police then called out to the other two children who had locked themselves in their room and asked them what had happened.
The policemen then started searching for the suspect and found him not far from the house.
"We found him lying at the side of the river with severe head
injuries," Rahim said, adding that the suspect was still holding a
parang.
Rahim said the victims and the suspect were sent to Kajang Hospital.
It is learnt the man’s wife was away at work when the incident happened.
