A father who threw his three children off a flyover in Kepong before plunging to his death yesterday was said to have been suffering from depression since last year.
According to police and a refugee group activist, the 38-year-old man used to do electrical wiring jobs since he came to Malaysia from Myanmar about 10 years ago.
However, he became jobless when the Covid-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, which in turn led to multiple travel restrictions and an economic downturn.
It became worse when the man was infected by the coronavirus last year.
