“A heated argument ensued between the suspect and his wife as well as the victim (mother), who heard the quarrels and confronted the son.
“Suddenly, the suspect acted aggressively and took a sword from kitchen before thrusting it towards the victim, and also threatened to kill everyone in the house,” he said.
