Police probing ‘bankruptcy case’ angle in lawyer’s murder
By STEVEN DANIEL
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are investigating to see if the 75-year-old lawyer who was strangled to death in his home is related to a bankruptcy case against his relative.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Ku Chin Wah said M. Thiruchelvasegaram was supposed to attend a court hearing on the case on the morning of his murder.
“We are looking in this angle if that person may have something to do with his death,” he said, adding that no suspects had been arrested yet but police expected to record a statement from the relative soon.
Thiruchelvasegaram’s family refused to speak to reporters on the incident when met at the University Malaya Medical Centre.
Thiruchelvasegaram, his wife and their Indonesian maid were asleep when three men broke into their house in Jalan Batai, Bukit Damansara, at 4am on Friday.
One of the suspects tied up the wife and maid before locking them in a room while another dragged the lawyer to a hall upstairs.
It is believed that they strangled him when he refused to hand over the keys to a cabinet containing jewellery.
