> The father of Safsufarnisya Salleh, who was shot dead by her policeman husband, said he has forgiven his son-in-law, Kosmo! online reported.
“Frankly speaking, I have forgiven him for what he did and accepted this test for what it is as I have already treated him as my own son,” said Salleh Eizan, 63.
Safsufarnisya, 26, was shot five times by her husband at their home in Kampung Bendang Baru, Simpang Empat in Kangar.
Salleh said while initially it was difficult to come to terms with what had taken place, he is now resigned to his daughter’s fate.
His wife Che Mas Taha, 63, said they found new clothes that her youngest daughter had bought for her unborn child in her wardrobe.
“It seems as if Adik (Safsufarnisya) and her husband have prepared to welcome their firstborn.
“We knew that she was pregnant but we did not know that they had bought clothes for the baby. In fact, after seeing the clothes we were sad,” she said.
