The man apparently 'heard voices' before injuring his nieces.
A man in Penang went berserk and allegedly attempted to injure his nieces yesterday at 3.40 pm.
According to NST, his brother who only wants to be identified as Taiyob, 31, explained that his brother is currently undergoing traditional treatment due to some health issues for the past two months. It is believed that the children are residing in their grandmother’s apartment while their mother is still in the midst of her post-birth confinement period.
The incident happened on 31 July at 9.30 pm in their home at an oil palm estate in Tasek Gelugor. As a result of that, the victim, a 35-year-old woman, suffered second and third-degree burn injuries with about 27% of her skin affected. Their 13-year-old son heard his parents quarrelling in their room and managed to open the locked door. He then saw his mother on fire at the back of the house while his dad tried to put it out with a cloth.
An eyewitness saw the husband quickly making a run for it when he boarded a factory van, leaving the plantation area. Upon investigation, it is found out that the 36-year-old suspect has four criminal records including having injured the victim before.
