MUAR: Two family members with disabilities were found dead, and a third was discovered weak and malnourished, after reports of a foul odour from a house in Sungai Abong.
Muar OCPD Asst Comm Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said that the deceased, believed to be a father and son aged 76 and 37, were found inside the residence.
“We received a report on Friday (Aug 23) from a neighbour who noticed a foul smell coming from the house.
“Upon inspection at 1pm, we found two deceased men, who are believed to be the father and son.
“We also found a 44-year-old woman, who is also a person of disabilities and is believed to be the daughter of the 76-year-old man.
“She was found in a weak and malnourished state, likely due to several days of starvation,” he said in a statement on Saturday (24 August).
ACP Raiz added that the bodies of the two men are currently undergoing post-mortem examinations at Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital, while the woman is receiving medical treatment.
The police have urged the public not to speculate on the matter and to remain vigilant in their neighbourhoods.
The case has been classified as a Sudden Death Report (SDR).
