A 49-year-old Malay woman with disabilities was found dead in her home in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, yesterday afternoon, with police classifying the case as murder following an alleged dispute with two suspects now in custody.
The incident has raised concerns over safety for vulnerable individuals in the community, as authorities investigate whether the killing stemmed from a personal conflict. Police have also recovered a knife suspected to be the weapon used in the attack.
According to Assistant Commissioner Heisham Harun, the Kuala Kangsar district police chief, the body was discovered by family members at around 2:15 p.m. in a house at Kampung Cheh Kati. Heisham said the victim was found lying on the floor in a pool of blood in the living room, unconscious and unresponsive. The body was later sent to Taiping Hospital’s forensic department for an autopsy.
Preliminary investigations suggest the woman’s death resulted from a disagreement with the suspects, with the case now classified under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Police have detained two men suspected of involvement and are appealing for witnesses to contact ASP Mohamad Fadhil Ab. Wahab at 019-7272033 or the Kuala Kangsar district police headquarters at 05-7762222.
