The man suspected of beating his wife to death in Kajang on July 23 was arrested in Senai, Johor yesterday, Selangor Police Chief Hussein Omar Khan said.
He said the suspect had been on the run and kept low until police managed to track him down.
Omar added that police also seized several tools believed to be linked to the case.
“The suspect fled to Johor, but acting on intelligence, we tracked him to his hiding spot,” he told reporters after the Sime Darby auxiliary police 7th-anniversary guard-of-honour parade at Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang today.
He said the 32-year-old suspect was remanded for a week to facilitate murder investigations.
In the incident, a woman suspected of being a victim of physical abuse was reported to have succumbed to her injuries while being treated at a private hospital in Kajang.
Police received a report on her death from a nurse after the hospital staff found her lifeless with bruises and injuries.
In a separate development, Hussein said Selangor police had received 17 reports concerning the ‘SiHulk’ religious sect.
“Investigations revealed that the sect members are no more in Selangor, and could be abroad,” he said.
The Johor State Fatwa Committee had issued a fatwa that the teachings founded by the individual, Suhaini Mohammad or known as ‘Si Hulk’, conflicted with the Islamic teachings and prohibited all activities related to the group.
