“Preliminary investigations found that the man had committed suicide using a police-issued gun, and we believe he had shot his own son before that.

"There were gunshot wounds to the head on both bodies," he told reporters when met at the scene here.

Mohd Said said the cause of the incident was still under investigation, but it was believed to be due to family problems.
