SELANGOR police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed today confirmed that a jobless man who is suspected to have decapitated his mother in Kampung Baru Pasir Penambang, near Kuala Selangor, was under the influence of drugs.

At the time of the incident on January 15, only the suspect and his mother were at their home, he said.
