NIBONG TEBAL, June 1 — Police have detained two women to assist in investigations into the murder of a Myanmar national at a house in Taman Belibis, Simpang Ampat here yesterday, bringing the total number of suspects arrested to three.
Seberang Perai Selatan district police chief Supt Jay January Siowou said the arrests followed the detention of the main suspect, a 38-year-old man who was apprehended by members of the public at the scene before being handed over to the police yesterday.
“In the incident at about 3.20 pm, the 31-year-old victim was confirmed dead at the scene due to multiple stab wounds to the body. Also injured in the incident was a 26-year-old woman who is currently receiving further treatment at Seberang Jaya Hospital ,” he said in a statement today.
As of now, he said, the police have detained the main suspect believed to have been directly involved in the murder, and also two other individuals to assist in further investigations. He said preliminary investigations found that the incident is believed to have stemmed from a domestic dispute.
However, the exact motive is still under investigation. Police also seized a knife believed to have been used in the incident, and CCTV footage from nearby areas has been obtained and is being analysed.
“The victim’s body has been sent to the HSJ Forensic Unit for a post-mortem scheduled today,” he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and Section 326 of the Penal Code for causing grievous hurt using a dangerous weapon. He also urged members of the public with information on the incident to come forward and assist investigations by contacting the investigating officer, ASP Mohd Rizal Abd Rashid, or any nearby police station.
