POLICE arrested a woman, believed to be the mastermind behind her husband’s murder, on September 15 in Taman Aneka Baru, Sungai Udang, Klang, less than 24 hours after the crime was committed.

Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said the 37-year-old local woman is believed to have plotted to kill her husband out of revenge by conspiring with four other people.

He said at 2.41am on September 15, police were alerted to a fight involving a group of men in a house, of which one of the men was then found lying in a pool of blood.

“Acting on the information, a team rushed to the scene and the medical team that arrived at the location confirmed that a 41-year-old local man had died,” he said at a press conference at the South Klang district police headquarters today.

Arjunaidi said the woman told the police that two masked men armed with a knife had entered the house through the front door and stabbed her husband to death.

She also claimed that the robbers ransacked the house and took branded handbags, jewellery and RM40,000 in cash before escaping in a BMW, he said.

Arjunaidi said post-mortem results revealed that the victim was stabbed with a sharp object more than 14 times on his body.

He said the investigation team found several items and closed-circuit TV footage that could help in the investigation.

Following the incident, at around 10pm on the same day, police arrested the victim’s wife, he said, adding that four men, aged between 20 and 36, were also arrested in several locations in Klang and Senawang, Negri Sembilan.

“All the suspects are being remanded for five days separately until September 22. The case is being investigated under section 302 of the penal code for murder and section 395/397 of the penal code for gang and armed robbery,” he said. – Bernama, September 19, 2022.
