As he pushed the wheelchair past a roadside stall, members of the public who were curious stopped him to investigate.
When asked, the man only replied “I killed my own mother.”
To their horror, what they found underneath the blankets was the corpse of a 62-year-old woman.

It is believed that the man had stabbed his mother to death, as there were visible stab wounds on the left side of her neck. However, the violence did not stop there as apparently the man had also seriously injured his own sister and her boyfriend in a struggle when both of them turned up at the scene.
The suspect, who is 36-years-old, wounded his 26-year-old sister in the back and her 37-year-old boyfriend in the arm before he was placated by members of the public.
