KUALA LUMPUR - The case of a single mother of four children who was killed by her lover as often urged her lover to marry, attracted the attention of many.

Not to mention that his girlfriend was a religious teacher unmarried and younger than her.

Also reported is the case of a woman who murdered her fiance by strangled and thrown from the bridge and in women also found a note telling his problems.

Asked to comment specifically on the case of murder due to talk of marriage, freelance preacher Rick Halim Din said without taking into account the specific factors with unknown cause, in general, the incidence may be due to emotional crisis involving internal problems.

"They sometimes not not have faith (in case of a religious teacher), but because of the passion of anger or lust boost animal (bahimiah)," he told Bernama.

He also said the distressed because of the cost and increasing the marriage expenses can also be a burden to couples who want to marry.

"But the fact is, if we go back to religion, the marriage should be simplified, not troubled by things such as high conductivity and so on," he said.

From a psychological standpoint, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Prof Dr Osman Bakar Che described the act of killing caused by human inability to control anger and emotion.

He said people with psychiatric problems will be easily angered and decided that it makes no sense.

"These (when failing to control angry emotions), can not even think that their actions will lead them to the 'noose'. This is what the 'impulse control disorder' which means moved to make things harmful.

"There are also people who do not know their identifying problems in anger. They have failed to control stress and anger, and this is associated with psychiatric problems," he said.

Osman does not rule out the current situation, especially involving the cost of living rising perhaps among the contributing factors to the problem, but it is not a concrete reason for anyone to act on the expectations that are willing to kill.
