THE death of a 31-year-old Taiwanese influencer at a hotel in Jalan Conlay, Kuala Lumpur, on 22 October has been officially reclassified as a murder, the Kuala Lumpur Police Chief, Datuk Fadil Marsus, announced on Tuesday.
"Further investigations into the case are ongoing," he said in a brief statement.
The influencer was found lying in the hotel bathroom after entering Malaysia two days earlier on 20 October via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA 1).
