BANGI: A seven-year-old girl died after her throat was allegedly slit by her father at their home in Section 4, Bandar Baru Bangi, Thursday afternoon.
Selangor deputy police chief Datuk Abd Rahim Jaafar said in the 4.45 pm incident, the victim's two sisters, aged 10 and 12, were also hacked by their father leaving one injured in the back of the neck and the other with a severed finger.
"Police are still looking for the missing finger in the house," he told reporters at the scene.
He said another of the suspect's daughter, aged 15, and son, aged 17, managed to save themselves from the father, who used a machete in attacking the children.
According to him, the 15-year-old, who had just returned from attending religious classes, was shocked to see her father standing in the living room with a machete in his hand.
"The girl saw blood splattered all over the living room and her sisters injured. She screamed and shouted for her elder brother, aged 17, who was in an upstairs room.
"The brother rushed down and on seeing what had happened told her to run upstairs and lock herself in his room. He then called the police," he said.
Abd Rahim said on arrival, police found the two injured girls in the living room and immediately rushed them to the Kajang Hospital.
He said police found the girl whose throat was slit in a room downstairs.
Police then hunted down the 44-year-old man and found him by the bank of a river behind the housing estate at 6pm, he said. - BERNAMA
