A 41-year-old woman was found in a lifeless state at her home in Penang yesterday (Feb 4), where she was believed to have been murdered.
MalaysiaGazette reported that the victim was found lying on a bed in one of the rooms at Flat Sri Murni, Sungai Dua.
A slash wound was also found on her neck.
Lived with 15yo son
A neighbour came by the victim’s home and called out for her. At the time, the front door was wide open while the metal grille door was locked.
When a response wasn’t given, the neighbour sensed that something was amiss and alerted police at 1.40pm.
Police were later told that the victim, a single mother, lived at the unit with her 15-year-old son and earned a living by transporting students to school.
The case is now being probed under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder as police work to uncover the motive behind the incident.
When contacted by MalaysiaGazette, Penang police chief Datuk Azizee Ismail confirmed the incident and said police are still waiting for the post-mortem to be completed at Hospital Kepala Batas.
