On Wednesday morning in Kuala Sawah, a 70-year-old retired rubber tapper was stabbed to death by his son who was visiting from Port Dickson.

The daughter-in-law was alerted by a cry for help and found the son sitting in a corner laughing to himself after the stabbing.

It is believed that he worked as a police constable in Kedah, but was discharged due to mental problems. He is married with two children and is currently detained by the police.
