MELAKA – The remand order for the Singaporean man who is suspected of killing his wife and stepson and dismembering their bodies in Melaka has been extended by seven days to Oct 25, Bernama news agency reported.

Magistrate’s court assistant registrar Mohd Anuar Ostadi issued the remand order on Friday (Oct 18) after police applied for an extension to help in the investigations into the case.

The decomposed and dismembered remains of the victims – a 27-year-old woman and her 11-year-old son – were first stumbled upon on Oct 10 by a grass-cutter in bushes next to an industrial area, The Star reported.
