A married couple and their two pet dogs were found dead at home with their throats slit.
The couple’s bodies were found in their bedroom, both keeled over on the floor and their dogs named Reno and Pinky, were found dead with incision marks on the necks.
It is believed that the husband, who worked as a lorry driver, had slit his wife’s throat after a heated argument before taking his own life. The gruesome incident took place at their home in Block C of the Muhibbah People’s Housing Project (PPR), Kampung Muhibbah at about 11.00pm on Saturday, 29th March 2014.
A penknife, believed to have been used by the man to kill himself, was found next to his body. Initial investigation found incision marks between 10 to 15 cm long on the couple’s necks.
A neighbour said he heard noises coming from the couple’s unit at about 10.00pm.
“It sounded like they were fighting. Not long after that, we were stunned to hear about the discovery of their bodies,” he said when met at the scene.
He said that the couple, known as Selvam and Anita, did not have any children and they had been staying there for several years.
“Anita was working as a part-time beautician,” he said.
Another neighbour who also did not want to be identified described them as a loving couple.
“I’ve never seen or heard them quarrelling,” she said.
Cheras OCPD Asst Comm Mohan Singh confirmed receiving a report and said the case had been classified as sudden death. Investigations were ongoing and there were no elements of crime, he added.
The bodies have been sent to Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for a post-mortem.
