SEREMBAN: An elderly woman was found dead after allegedly quarrelling with her son, who has mental health issues, at a house in Bahau near here yesterday.
Jempol police chief Superintendent Hoo Chang Hook said they received information about the incident at 11.55am.
He said when police arrived at the scene, the 63-year-old woman was found unconscious on the floor.
"The 33-year-old suspect is the victim's eldest son and a holder of a mental disability card. They are believed to have had an argument and a scuffle.
"Following this, the police arrested the man. The cause of the incident is still being investigated. The victim's body was sent to Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital," he said in a statement last night.
Hoo, who reminded the public against circulating images of the victim, said a remand application for the suspect will be made at the Bahau magistrate's court today. -- Bernama
