THE funeral of the elderly couple murdered late yesterday evening was held at the Kampung Sungai Penchala Muslim Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur tonight.

Funeral rites for Agus Omar, 82 and Darlisma Nyatu Salleh, 72 were conducted at the Tengku Abdul Aziz Shah Jamek Mosque before the funeral took place at the cemetery at 9.15pm, with around 100 people, including family members, relatives and neighbours attending.

The two were found lying in pools of blood in the living room of their home after being allegedly stabbed repeatedly by their son, 42, yesterday evening.

The son was apprehended at around 10.30pm the same evening at the Penchala Tunnel of the Sprint Highway and was brought to the Brickfields police headquarters.

He tested positive for three types of drugs, and was remanded for seven days beginning today under section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. – Bernama, December 10, 2023.
