KUALA LUMPUR: Disputes and misunderstandings at work among foreign workers are among the motives for murder cases in the country from 2009 to 2019, said Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Huzir Mohamed.
He said that of the 5,403 murder cases recorded during the period, 844 cases involved disputes.
“484 homicide cases during that period were related to robbery, theft and theft.
“A total of 5,542 victims were killed, 3,453 victims were Malaysians while the rest were foreigners,” he told a special press conference in Bukit Aman, here.
He said his team was able to identify about 50 percent of the motives for murder cases in the country, while the rest could not be determined because decomposed bodies made the post-mortem process difficult.

Meanwhile, he said that the crime rate in the country, which was categorized according to violent crime and property, showed a downward trend over the past 11 years.
