MELAKA: "I hope all my children will be obedient, grow up healthy and happy, and become useful individuals! Love to all.”
These were the heartfelt words posted on Facebook on Mothers Day by the woman who was fatally stabbed alongside her eldest son at their home in Bukit Rambai here on June 12, reported Sinar Harian.
The police confirmed that the prime suspect in the double murder was the woman's second son, aged 17.
In the recent post that was shared on May 11, the 51-year-old single mother who was a teacher at a vernacular school, also expressed gratitude to her eldest child for creating a short video as a Mother's Day gift this year.
"Even though I cannot celebrate it this year, I am very happy because this is the first time receiving a short video made for me. I hope all my children will be obedient, grow up healthy and happy, and become useful individuals! Love to all," she wrote.

The victim also uploaded a one-minute and 15-second video made by her eldest son, a 21-year-old college student.
The video featured 25 photographs of their family over the past 16 years, including memories with her husband, who passed away earlier in January.
Additionally, the mother shared images of awards she received, such as the Excellent Service Award from the Education Ministry on April 25, 2019, and the Excellent Service Award from the Seremban District Education Office on June 22, 2009.
She also shared memorable photos from her workplace and with other family members.
The 5am incident also left the youngest sibling, aged 13, seriously injured after being stabbed while trying to save both victims.
Melaka police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said the suspect is believed to have stabbed his mother several times in the neck, waist and back using a folding knife.
Initial investigations suggest that the motive for the incident may be emotional distress and resentment experienced by the suspect, allegedly due to being frequently pressured to excel academically.
