GEORGE TOWN: The woman who is grieving the murder of her husband and daughter, says she has accepted what had happened.
"I accept losing two of my loved ones together.
"We don't know how we will die in future but this is how my husband and daughter died.
"I accept their deaths as fated," said the senior citizen, who declined to be named when approached.
The woman was on her way home from the Penang Hospital Forensic Unit to see to the burial arrangement of her husband and daughter.
It was reported yesterday that a 30-year-old woman and her 62-year-old father were stabbed to death by a 32-year-old man below their apartment in Air Itam.
Speculation has been rife that the suspect had sought to pursue the mother of three, but she rejected his advances.
An argument then ensued.
When her father tried to break up the fight, the suspect stabbed both the father and daughter to death before turning the knife on himself.
Police have vowed a thorough investigation into the double murder.
Earlier today, the suspect was remanded for a week to assist in investigation.
He was remanded in his hospital bed here, where he is seeking treatment.
