SHAH ALAM – Police arrested an unemployed 28-year-old man on suspicion of murdering his mother in Kg Baru Pasir Penambang, Kuala Selangor near here yesterday.
Kuala Selangor district police chief Ramli Kasa said police were alerted of the case at about 5.45pm by the victim’s 30-year-old daughter who went to the house to check on her mother when the latter did not answer her calls.
He said on arrival, the daughter saw blood stains all over the house and the suspect, who was shocked by the presence of his sibling, fled into a bush area behind the house.
“The police who went to the scene found a woman, with the head severed, in the living room and blood stains in the house.
“With the help of villagers, police managed to nab the suspect who was found hiding in the bush area near the house,” Ramli said in a statement today.
He said police also seized a machete, believed to be the murder weapon, from a toilet in the house.
The suspect tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine, Ramli said, adding that police had obtained an order from the Kuala Selangor magistrates’ court to remand the suspect for seven days from today. – Bernama, January 16, 2022
