She then called a friend, who immediately alerted the police. When police arrived, they found Lin’s bloodied body and her boyfriend in the room.
Kosmo later reported that Lin’s boyfriend sustained minor knife injuries and two knives were discovered at the crime scene. He was eventually arrested and taken to the hospital for treatment.
Was loved by local community
Friends of Lin told China Press that she had worked for years as a resident singer in several hawker centres in Melaka and was adored for her friendly demeanour.
They added that Lin, who was married and bore three kids, had moved into the house with her boyfriend from Penang six months ago.
