Cha said police received a call from the man’s younger sibling at about 8am on June 7 saying that the brother had committed the murder. He said the man’s wife, aged 28, was found on the bed with slash wounds on her body.

Cha added that the post-mortem examination found 12 slash wounds on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, shoulders, arms, fingers and head.
