Witnesses contacted the police, but by the time they arrived, the couple was found lying in a pool of blood on the floor of their living room. It was believed the couple was stabbed multiple times.
The police recovered a knife blade, a knife handle, a wooden stick, wooden fragments, a helmet, a round wooden table, and a pair of black shoes believed to belong to the suspect at the scene.

The suspect tested positive for three types of drugs and will be remanded for seven days until Saturday (16 December).
The case will be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
