JEALOUSY is believed to be the motive behind the murder of a 19-year-old college student, whose body was found with 61 stab wounds in Ketereh, yesterday.
Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the suspect, who was also her 19-year-old boyfriend, claimed the victim was having an affair with another man.
“Police believe jealousy was the motive for the victim’s murder. Initial investigations indicate that there was an argument between the victim and the suspect, which led to her death. She is believed to have been stabbed while in the suspect’s car.
“With the arrest of the main suspect, police believe the murder case has been solved,” he told the New Straits Times.
Mohd Yusoff said another teenager arrested in the case was the victim’s friend.
“Two other individuals, a 66-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman who are the parents of the main suspect, have been arrested to assist in the investigation,” he added. – May 2, 2026
