A 30-year-old factory operator and her four-year-old daughter were found dead in their home in Taman Perak, Kulim on 4 Nov 2025. Police arrived at the scene around midnight following a distress call from neighbours.
The woman’s body was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan in a bedroom. Her young daughter was found dead on a mattress nearby.
The woman’s seven-year-old son survived the incident but sustained injuries to his neck and jaw. The boy managed to escape from the house and alerted neighbours, who then called for help.
Discovery of Bodies After Son’s Escape from Kulim Home
Neighbours rushed to the scene after the boy called for assistance. They discovered the woman’s body and immediately contacted the police.
Kulim police chief Superintendent Zulkifli Azizan said preliminary investigations suggest the woman attempted to kill both children before taking her own life. The deaths appear to be linked to emotional distress from a relationship dispute.
A forensic examination found no signs of forced entry into the home. The bodies showed no external injuries apart from those consistent with strangulation and smothering.
Handwritten Notes Reveal Mother’s Final Thoughts in Murder-Suicide Case
Officers found two handwritten notes in the living room alongside identification documents for the woman and her two children.
In one note, the woman apologised and explained her decision. “I apologise to everyone, this is my ‘final journey’ and I can no longer endure the heartache. (The children) cannot be left with anyone, which was why I felt compelled to take them with me,” she wrote.
She thanked her friends in the note and stated they had nothing to do with her decision.
The bodies have been sent to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star for post-mortem examinations. The surviving boy is receiving treatment at Kulim Hospital.
Police are investigating the case under Sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempted murder) of the Penal Code.
