Man who killed dad spared death

PUTRAJAYA: He was a drug addict and jobless. His father was a prostate cancer patient and bedridden.

When the older man scolded him for consuming drugs at home, You Poh Khoon (pic) flew into a fit of rage and killed him by severing his head with a machete. The 52-year-old then chopped up his father’s body into six parts and buried the head in the backyard. The other body parts were dumped in a 1.5m-deep sewage hole.
