Cameron Highlands police chief Shamsuri Mohd Nor said the autopsy would be conducted at Hospital Sultan Hajjah Kalsom in Tanah Rata and the results would be out soon.

“We are expecting to obtain the findings of the post-mortem on both bodies. After completing the procedure, the two bodies would be handed over to the next of kin,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

It was reported that the couple was found dead in the bathroom of their house in Taman Puncak Tringkap in Cameron Highlands.

The couple’s three children, aged two to 10 who were in the house during the incident, were unhurt.

Shamsuri said the family members of the couple from Penang and Sarawak had been informed on how to manage the children’s custody.

According to him, the Social Welfare Department (JKM) would assist in monitoring the children and managing their wellbeing while waiting for the process of custody to be sorted out.
