5th April, Yudishtra's Birthday:
I came directly from music college lecture, passing through the row of house where I then saw a couple of police cars and a shocked teenager, like, really shocked. Didn't know what was happening at first, didn't bother stopping, I was in a hurry.
I only know of this story when the topic was brought up by my neighbour. A 50 year old local woman was found hanged in the second floor bathroom of the three-storey terrace house while her 55 year old husband was found on the floor of another bathroom on the third floor. They were believed to be tuition teachers.
A 13-year old girl, whom I saw shocked, gone to their house for a regular tuition class at 3pm on that day found the house doors unlocked and walked into the premises.
Failing to get a response from the couple after calling out their names several times, she decided to look for them.
She found a woman hanging by a piece of cloth from the ceiling of the bathroom and informed the couple's neighbour.
Police later found the man with strangulation marks on the neck.
City police chief Senior Assistant Commander II Ku Chin Wah said police believed that the woman had found her husband 24 hours after he had hanged himself and brought him down before hanging herself.
"We have not found any elements of foul play," he said, adding that two notes, one written in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese were found. He declined to reveal the contents of the notes.
Their bodies were sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre for a post-mortem.
