SHAH ALAM: A woman has died after being stabbed several times in the front and back by a man in Taman Chi Liung in Klang.
South Klang district police chief Asst Comm Cha Hoong Fong said his department received a report at 2.17pm regarding the killing from a woman who reported that the victim was stabbed by a man who then drove away with her in a car. Both the assailant and victim are said to be Malaysians.
“Our investigations found that at 1.20pm yesterday, the 26-year-old victim met the suspect at a restaurant around Jalan Bayu Tinggi 6 and after eating, both went to the car park at Jalan Bayu Tinggi 5. When they reached a silver Chevrolet car, the suspect stabbed the victim several times on the body with a knife and then placed her in the car before leaving,” he told reporters on Tuesday.
He said the man then drove to his house at Jalan Sungai Nibong 5, Kapar and upon arrival, the suspect tried to revive the victim but couldn’t.
The 44-year-old suspect then stabbed himself with likely the same knife before police arrived at the location at 4.20pm to arrest him, Bernama reported.
“We found the victim in the front passenger seat in an unconscious state and the ambulance that arrived at the scene confirmed that she had died. The police forensic unit also found a knife believed to have been used by the suspect,” he said.
ACP Cha said the suspect, who has no criminal record, has been remanded for seven days until Dec 25 for investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
He said an autopsy conducted yesterday found that the victim’s body had many stab wounds and the cause of death was due to a stab in the chest that penetrated the heart.
“Police are still investigating the cause of the incident and the investigating officer is completing the paper to be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor for further instructions.
“Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the South Klang police headquarters at 03-33762222 or any nearby police station,” he said.
