A HOUSEWIFE was found dead with stab wounds in her chest yesterday in the bathroom of her home in Malacca.

Melaka Tengah district police chief Christopher Patit said the woman was Tan See Jie, 34.

She was discovered lying in a pool of blood by her aunt in her house in Taman Vista Kirana, Bukit Katil.

“Based on the initial investigation, the victim was found with three stab wounds in the chest. A knife was also found embedded in the victim’s chest.

“The victim was living in the house with her aunt and seven-year-old son as her husband was away working,” Patit said in a statement today.

Closed-circuit television camera footage showed no movements in and out of the house through the front and back doors. An examination of the surrounding area and the house found no signs of a ransack, he said.

“The body has been sent to the forensic unit of the Melaka Hospital for a post-mortem to determine the cause of death.” – Bernama, November 12, 2023.
