A knife believed to have been used in the crime has been confiscated.

In a related case, a disabled woman was also found dead in Kuala Kangsar, with her son now undergoing psychiatric evaluation; this is under investigation in coordination with the police.

KAMPAR, Sept 28 — An elderly woman was found dead, believed to have been stabbed by her 49-year-old daughter in an incident at Lorong Kledang Utara 6, Taman Wang, Menglembu near Ipoh yesterday.

Perak police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said the 70-year-old victim was found with a stab wound to her chest and was believed to have been killed by her daughter, who has a history of mental health treatment.

He said police received a report from the victim’s son-in-law at about 7pm.

“Her mother, who was bedridden and required intensive care, had just been brought home from an old folks’ home in Pusing and was being cared for by her daughter and son-in-law. The daughter also has a history of psychiatric treatment.

“We have detained the suspect, who will be remanded until Oct 4 to assist investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code,” he told a press conference at the Kampar district police headquarters here today.
