A 38-YEAR-old woman has been arrested in connection with a violent acid attack that left a spa owner seriously injured in Beris Kubur Besar, Bachok, last Saturday.
Kelantan Police Chief, Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat, confirmed the arrest was made during a joint operation by the Special Investigation Division (D9) of the Kelantan Police Contingent Headquarters and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Bachok District Police.
The suspect was apprehended at around 4pm on Wednesday in front of a rubber factory in Kuala Krai.
“The suspect works at a rubber factory and has no prior criminal record,” said Mohd Yusoff, speaking at a press briefing on Thursday.
Police also seized a Perodua Myvi vehicle, a mobile phone and a car remote during the operation.
The case is being investigated under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which deals with voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means.
The suspect was expected to be remanded at the Bachok Magistrates’ Court on Thursday morning to facilitate further investigation.
“Kelantan police will take firm action against any individuals involved in causing serious harm,” Mohd Yusoff added.
He also urged the public not to engage in speculation and to report any relevant information directly to the Bachok District Police Headquarters or the nearest police station. - May 22, 2025
