MALACCA: The man who killed a woman and stabbed her daughter has surrendered to the police.

State police chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Chuah Ghee Lye said the man turned himself in at the state police contingent headquarters in Bukit Beruang at 11am on Saturday.

“He was accompanied by his elder sister,'' he said after visiting the family of the victims in Kampung Baru Ayer Salak yesterday.

SAC Chuah said the man had been remanded for investigations.

“We will also speak to the victim when her condition is stable,” he added.

In the incident on Friday night, the advertising executive, in his early 30s, killed Seet Ah Ngo, 75, and stabbed her daughter Lim Mui Tian, 33, at their home before fleeing.

It was reported that the man was enraged after Lim had rejected his advances.

Lim sustained seven stab wounds on her back and shoulders while Seet, who suffered several blows to her ribs and throat, succumbed to her injuries at the emergency ward of a hospital at about 1.30am.

“His action of turning himself in shows that he is willing to face the consequences for what he has done,” said Lim's elder brother Christopher at their mother's wake at their home yesterday.

He said Lim, who had been warded at Malacca Hospital's intensive care unit, was transferred to the normal ward and was now stable and conscious.

Lim's husband, Lee Siang Wei, 33, had also arrived from Vietnam to be with her, added Christopher.
