KOTA KINABALU: A husband, who suspected that his wife was unfaithful, blew her and himself up with a fish bomb in a house to the horror of their 13 children.
The children were ordered to leave the house at Kampung Cederamata II at about 9am yesterday before the blast and they were not injured, but the woman’s niece who was in the kitchen sustained facial injuries.
Cruel death: The scene inside the house where the couple died in the blast in Kota Kinabalu Monday.
Police said the couple had been quarrelling for the past month and the woman had left their home to live with her sister in nearby Likas about a month ago after threatening to divorce her husband.
The man had gone to persuade his wife to return home and asked all their children aged between three and 20 to leave the house.
In grief: An unidentified son of the couple consoling his sister in Kota Kinabalu Monday.
He was heard shouting at her when suddenly there was a loud explosion.
Kota Kinabalu City deputy police chief Supt Rowell Marong identified the man as Babin Isang, 35, and his wife as Indak Musa, 35, who were both Filipino refugees living in Sabah under the Immigration stay pass IMM13.
He said police were investigating the case as sudden death report.
He said both Babin, who was self employed, and his wife were killed on the spot. They sustained injuries to their abdomen and their bodies have been sent for post mortems.
