A Malaysian teacher and her 21-year-old son were found dead in the living room of their home in Malacca on the morning of 12 June 2025. The scene was covered in blood.
Their youngest family member, a 13-year-old boy, was found injured on the porch with a stab wound to his back.
The family’s second son, a 17-year-old, was initially believed to have left the house on the evening of 11 June after an argument with his mother. He subsequently returned at around 5:00am on 12 June to pick up his youngest brother for school, only to discover the horrific scene inside the house.

Police Identify 17-Year-Old as Main Suspect in Malacca Double Murder
Police have identified the 17-year-old as the suspect.
Officers believe he planned to kill his mother but was interrupted by his elder brother during the act.
Both the mother and elder brother died from multiple stab wounds. The youngest brother was injured after refusing to leave the house during the attack.
Malacca Police Chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar confirmed there was no sign of forced entry. The case is believed to have resulted from a family dispute.
Police said the suspect held a long-standing grudge against his mother and was unhappy about being frequently scolded while preparing for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) exam.
The attack is believed to have occurred at around 5:00am. Both victims suffered stab wounds to the neck, back, and waist.
Police recovered a 20-centimetre folding knife, believed to be the murder weapon, from the suspect’s schoolbag.
