By G.C.TAN

SUNGAI PETANI: A father who hanged himself after suffocating his three young children may have been facing financial problems, says state CID chief Senior Asst Comm Mior Farid Alathrash Wahid.

“The motive is still under investigation and believed due to problems with debts,” he said, adding that the 48-year-old managed the employment of foreign workers.
