Initial investigations indicate that the perpetrator is their own son, who practices as an anesthesiologist. He was apprehended and taken into custody for questioning. It was revealed that the victims’ second son made the grim discovery, tipped off by a nurse who had been caring for the elderly couple.
Local media reports cite witnesses who claim that the accused immediately went to a nearby mosque after the incident and began emotionally reciting the call to prayer. Subsequently, he was reportedly heard muttering incoherent phrases.
The bodies have been moved to the morgue, and a formal report has been filed to commence further investigations into this horrifying event.
It is hard to fathom what may drive someone, let alone a medical professional who has sworn to do no harm, to commit such a heinous act. The incident raises pressing questions about mental health, family dynamics, and social issues that could potentially be at play here. While it’s too early to draw any concrete conclusions, this case will undoubtedly serve as a chilling reminder of the darkness that sometimes lurks in the places we consider safest—our homes.
