Mystery Of Husband-Wife Bodies Unravelled

KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) -- Police investigations in the horrific find of a husband and wife on the 22nd floor of the Sutra Idaman Condominium in Setapak yesterday are being centred on murder-cum-suicide.

Sentul police district chief, ACP Zakaria Pagan, said while police were still waiting for the post-mortem report on the couple initial investigations showed injuries to the man's hands believed to be self-inflicted while the slashes on the stomach and head of the woman were from defending herself from being stabbed by a sharp weapon.

"We believe that the husband killed his wife before killing himself and we believe they had a quarrel due to domestic problems.

"It is possible that the husband could not control his emotions and killed his wife before deciding to kill himself," Zakaria said when contacted Monday.

Yesterday the couple identified as Grerard Lopez Robert Lopez, 44, and his wife Brenda Lizabeth Karen Pereira, 43, were found in a decomposing state.

The deaths of Lopez and his wife believed to be two days ago were only discovered by a family member who went to visit them at 2pm yesterday.

Detecting a stench, the female family member broke into the house and was shocked to see them in a horrible condition.

Zakaria said police considered the case solved and have classified it as sudden death.
