The tragic incident, which occurred on the first day of Aidilfitri, happened following a quarrel about the suspect’s two daughters who were staying at the house together with his former wife.
The 32-year-old suspect had gone to the house at about 7.30am to fetch his daughters. However, a quarrel broke out and the victim, aged 36, tried to calm down the suspect.
He then stabbed the 36-year-old to death with a knife that the suspect had brought along.
