Make-up artist found murdered in his house

KUALA LUMPUR: A make-up artist-cum-designer has been found murdered in his house.

Othman Hassan, 52, better known as Dicky, was found dead with his hands and legs tied up in Jalan Kasipillay here last night.

It is learnt that the victim’s mouth was also stuffed with a piece of cloth.

Sources said his brother discovered the body at about 8pm yesterday.

The sources said the victim might have known the assailant as the door was closed from the inside.

“We believe strangulation could have been the cause of his death,” he added.

Initial investigations revealed that Dicky’s laptop and cellphone were missing.
