Authorities seized a meat cleaver amongst the suspect’s belongings, alongside the motorcycle he rode in the video.
According to Berita Harian, the suspect and his late wife had only gotten married last year. His father-in-law told reporters that their marriage had been a happy one until the suspect lost his stable job a few months ago. He shared his suspicions that there might have been a problem at work recently.
The case is now under investigation, under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
