A shocking incident has shaken the community in Seksyen 25, Shah Alam, after a 40-year-old Myanmar woman was found dead in her home, allegedly stabbed to death by her own eldest son. The tragic event occurred on Tuesday, August 20, when the victim's youngest child returned from school to discover her lifeless body.
According to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim, the Shah Alam OCPD, investigations revealed that the victim had engaged in a physical altercation with the suspect before being stabbed multiple times. The police have gathered statements from eight witnesses, including the victim's husband, who was at work at the time of the incident.
According to The Star, the suspect, a 20-year-old Myanmar national and the victim's eldest son was arrested near the crime scene at around 7:30 pm on the same day. Initial checks indicate that the suspect has no prior criminal record or history of mental illness. The alleged murder weapon was also recovered by the authorities.
ACP Mohd Iqbal stated that the motive behind the crime appears to be related to monetary issues, which had led to constant scolding from the victim. The suspect's dissatisfaction with the situation allegedly drove him to commit the heinous act.
The suspect has been remanded for seven days, and the case has been classified as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code. The authorities will continue to investigate the incident to ensure justice is served.
This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing family conflicts and seeking help when needed. It is crucial for individuals to manage their emotions and find constructive ways to resolve disputes, rather than resorting to violence.
The community is urged to come forward with any information that may aid the investigation. The authorities will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens.
