MACHANG: Police believe that jealousy could be among the motives for the fatal shooting of a pregnant woman whose body was found in a car by the roadside in Kampung Repek, Pasir Mas, near here, yesterday evening.
Kelantan acting police chief Zaki Harun said a thorough investigation would be conducted to ascertain the real motive for the killing.
He said the woman might have been shot in the abdomen with a .38 semi-auto pistol following the discovery of a bullet shell at the scene.
“Police will also obtain statements from the witnesses.
“We urge the public not to speculate on the motive for the woman’s murder,” he told reporters after the handing-over-of-duties ceremony at the Machang district police headquarters here today.
During the ceremony, Machang district police chief Rosli Mat, who has been transferred to Bukit Aman, handed over his duties to acting district police chief Zahir Abdullah.
Yesterday, Emirah Mazlan, 26, a mother of three, was found shot dead. Her unborn seven-month-old baby also died.
Zaki said police were investigating the possibility of the victim being fatally shot elsewhere before being found by the roadside. Her house is 15km away from where the car was found.
He said following the incident, a 40-year-old man had been remanded for five days from today for investigation. - FMT
