RM260k Love Scam Believed Linked to Deaths in Desa ParkCity
Police said the father left a note blaming the alleged scam after his family suffered about RM260,000 in losses and debt.
On Thursday, a 48-year-old Malaysian man died after falling from his Desa ParkCity flat in Kuala Lumpur, where authorities discovered his wife and two young children dead inside.
Police investigations revealed a note left by the man linking the killings to an alleged online love scam involving his wife that saddled the family with RM260,000 in losses.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus reported post-mortem examinations found severe neck injuries on all three victims, while forensic teams discovered a knife and gloves in the master bedroom.
The note stated the suspect, a director in a family-run business, felt ashamed because his wife continued contacting the scammer despite the family's financial ruin.
