KOTA KINABALU: Two of the three children, who were seriously injured after they were allegedly slashed by their mother, have regained consciousness.
Their father, Yohanes Kolin, 54, when met by Bernama at the Sabah Women and Children Hospital said his daughters, Nurul Hanisa, 7, and Melati, 5, were reported to be in stable condition and were able to talk to him.
However, he said his other child, two-year-old Jehan, who was also seriously injured, is still unconscious.
The siblings’ eight-month-old brother was killed when he was also slashed in the throat by the woman at the workers’ quarters of a resort in Pulau Mantanani, Kota Belud.
The woman, in her 30s, was reported to have turned the knife on herself by slashing her throat and was reported to be in critical condition at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Yohanes, when recalling the incident, said he was shocked and had never imagined such an incident could happen to his family.
He said his wife was her normal self before he left for work yesterday morning, feeding the baby and making porridge for the older children.
It was during lunch break, when he returned home, that Yohanes said he saw his wife acting weirdly and shouting, but he managed to calm her down.
“I had walked a few steps (away from the house) when I heard the children screaming for help.
“I rushed home and tried to open the door, but it was locked. I broke down the door and saw my children sprawled in blood,” he said.
Yohanes said he then ran out to seek help from a few security members in the area who then helped to send his wife and children to the hospital.
