SHAH ALAM: A local woman died after being stabbed several times in the front and back by a man in broad daylight at Jalan Bayu Tinggi 5, Taman Chi Liung, in Klang, yesterday afternoon.

Klang Selatan police chief Cha Hoong Fong said a report was filed at 2.17pm by a woman who said the victim was stabbed by a local man who then drove her away in a car.

“Our investigations found that at 1.20pm yesterday, the 26-year-old victim met the suspect at a restaurant around Jalan Bayu Tinggi 6 and after eating, they both went to the car park at Jalan Bayu Tinggi 5.

“When they reached a silver Chevrolet car, the suspect stabbed the victim several times with a knife and then placed her in the car before leaving,” he said.

The man then drove to his house at Jalan Sungai Nibong 5, Kapar, and tried to rouse the victim but failed.

The 44-year-old suspect then stabbed himself with the same knife before police arrived at the location at 4.20pm to arrest him.

“We found the unconscious victim in the front passenger seat. Paramedics who arrived at the scene confirmed the woman had died. The forensic unit also found a knife believed to have been used by the suspect.”

Cha said the suspect, who had no previous criminal record, had been remanded until Dec 25 for investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

An autopsy conducted today found that the victim’s body had many stab wounds in the front and back, and that the cause of death was due to a stab that penetrated the heart.

“Police are still investigating the cause of the incident. Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Klang Selatan police headquarters at 03-33762222 or any nearby police station,” he said. - FMT
