KUALA LANGAT: A deaf-mute man has been charged over the case in which an elderly couple and their two grandsons were allegedly slashed to death and set on fire at their home in Tanjong Sepat.

The magistrate's court here, however, postponed the case pending appointment of a sign language interpreter after Kang Chang Heng, 38, failed to respond when the first charge was read out to him on Tuesday.
