Blood may be thicker than water but one family almost came to blows when they could not agree on how to handle their deceased matriarch’s belongings.

A 73-year-old man, who allegedly brandished a knife and threatened to kill his own son after the latter tried to dispose of some of his late mother’s items, was arrested for criminal intimidation on June 9, the police confirmed to AsiaOne.

The altercation took place at Blk 314 Yishun Ring Road at 9.18am, in a flat shared by the pair.

Speaking to Lianhe Wanbao, the son, who did not want to be named, explained that his mother had died from an illness five years ago.

After his mother’s death, his relationship with his father deteriorated, he said. His father became short-tempered and would often scold him.

“Whenever I organised my mum’s belongings, my father would get very angry and ask me to stop,” he told the Chinese evening daily.
