KUALA LUMPUR: An Indonesian woman is believed to have used a blunt object to allegedly murder her compatriot and hid her body under a bed in an apartment in Persiaran Subang Mewah, Subang Jaya, near here, on March 8.
Subang Jaya District Police Chief ACP Abd Khalid Othman (pix) said the post-mortem report revealed that the victim’s death did not match the injuries he sustained, leading police to believe that it had been used another object in the murder.
A piece of wood believed to have been used in the incident was seized along with the victim’s jewelry, including three chains and two bracelets.
“At the crime scene, the police found one of the victim’s earrings, which is believed to have fallen out of his ear when the suspect struck the victim’s head,” he told a news conference today.
Abd Khalid said police are now investigating whether the suspect’s husband, 48, was also involved in the murder.
He said the man and his 39-year-old wife were in pre-trial detention until tomorrow and that the police would request an extension of the pre-trial order to carry out a further investigation.
On March 8, media reported that an Indonesian woman allegedly murdered and hid the body of the 54-year-old victim, a kuih vendor, under the suspect’s bed on the second floor of the apartment.
The motive for the murder is believed to have been desperation for money, as the suspect, a kuih maker, was in financial trouble while the victim had a lot of jewelry that could be sold for her (the suspect) to pay off a debt. Called
