Boy returns home to find mum dead



KLANG: A 16-year-old boy returned home from school to find his mother dead with her throat cut and her back slashed.


The victim, 53-year-old Tan Li Chu, was found sprawled on the floor near the kitchen. The home had been ransacked.

It is learnt that the boy found the gate opened and the sliding door leading to the hall unlocked when he returned home in Taman Chi Liung at about 6.50pm yesterday. The boy ran to the house of a relative nearby and they contacted the police. Tan, a mother of three, was alone at home while her husband, a factory worker, was at work.

A police spokesman said a 21-year-old suspect had been picked up and police were still investigating the motive.
