PETALING JAYAA Malaysian couple and their three-year-old son living in west London were found dead in their home on Tuesday in what UK police believe to be a murder with suicide.

The dead were identified as Kuha Raj Sithamparanathan, 42, his wife Poorna Kaameshwari Sivaraj, 36, and their son Kailash Kuha Raj.

According to British news reports, Kuha, who was barely alive when police entered the couple’s fourth-floor apartments in Clayponds Lane, Brentford, died minutes later while being treated by paramedics around 1 a.m. Tuesday.

The bodies of Poorna and Kailash were also found in the house and it appeared that they had died several days earlier.

British newspaper The Sun reported that Poorna’s family had contacted UK police on Sunday citing concern for the woman who had not been located since last month.

On Monday, the police went to the couple’s home to see how they were doing, but to no avail.

The following day, police broke into the couple’s home and made the gruesome discovery.

The family dog, a cockapoo, was also found dead at their facility.

UK police were quoted as saying that Poorna and Kailash, who had not been seen for the past two weeks, had been “dead for some time” and that investigators “were not looking for anyone else in connection with the case” .

Neighbors, shocked by the incident, described the victims as a “perfect family” who loved the dog and took him for walks every day.

A neighbor next door to the couple was quoted as saying: “I have lived here for three years and saw them often. I’m in shock, in total shock. They were a lovely family, lovely neighbors. I don’t know why this has happened. “

However, neighbors said that since a lockdown was imposed to contain the coronavirus pandemic, the couple used to get into heated arguments and could be heard yelling at each other in recent months.

“Things got very bad between them, especially during the confinement. They are one of the few couples with a young child on our block and they could be heard yelling at each other, sometimes for very long periods. “

Another neighbor who lives in a flat above the couple’s house told MailOnline: “I could hear her yelling at her husband, telling him to take his medicine. Then, another time, she threw it away and I looked out and I could see it on the ground.

Other news reports said that Kuha hailed from Petaling Jaya and that the couple apparently married in Kuala Lumpur in 2015.
