According to Harian Metro, the body of one of the toddlers was sent for an autopsy this morning at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan.

It is understood that the post-mortem examinations on her, her older sister and 55-year-old grandmother began at about 8.45am.

Their bodies are expected to be laid to rest at the Cerating Muslim Cemetery later this afternoon.

The father’s body was sent for a post-mortem at 4pm yesterday, while the mother’s remains were examined at 8.30pm last night.

According to the police, initial investigations indicate that the 32-year-old man is believed to have injured his wife, 28, his mother, and two daughters, aged three and four, with a sharp weapon, suspected to be a knife, before turning the weapon on himself.

The five family members were found dead at a house in Lorong Cerating Damai, Kuantan yesterday morning.

Police have not ruled out money trouble as the motive of the alleged murder-suicide.

Pahang police chief Yahaya Othman said the man had moved back to his family home about a month ago after resigning from his job in Selangor and had only begun working in Kuantan a week ago.
