## M'sian man calls brother to admit he had stabbed mum with scissors

According to the Chinese daily, the victim was identified as 67-year-old Cai Yating (transliteration), while the suspect was her 40-year-old son, who was the youngest child in the family.

In a [statement](https://www.nst.com.my/news/crime-courts/2024/06/1064057/penang-mother-allegedly-stabbed-death-son-mental-issues) by Northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Razlam Ab Hamid, he said the victim's eldest and second child tried calling her but to no avail.

##### At 5pm, they received the shocking news from the suspect who admitted that he had stabbed their mother with a pair of scissors, leading to her death.

The suspect's brother then contacted the police, who rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect on the spot.

## Had threatened family before

Razlam added that the victim would drop by the apartment three times a week, while on other days she would stay with her eldest child in Batu Maung.

> **The suspect had threatened to kill all his family members when they were staying together in Batu Maung. He previously received psychiatric treatment at Jalan Perak last year.**

"We're working to determine the motive behind the stabbing and the victim's remains have been sent to the Penang Hospital for post-mortem," he said.

## Brought to court

As for the suspect, he was brought to the Balik Pulau courtroom today as police sought for a 7-day remand order to aid investigations, reported [China Press](https://penang.chinapress.com.my/?p=1823559).
