A STAB wound on the chest has been identified as the cause of death of a pregnant waitress who was brutally murdered at an oil palm plantation on Jalan Sungai Limau, Sungai Besar, on Monday, Sabak Bernam district police chief Agus Salim Mohd Alias said.

He said the family has also claimed the victim’s body following the post-mortem, and is expected to be buried tonight at the Kampung Nelayan Cemetery in Sungai Besar.

Meanwhile, Agus said an additional remand period would be sought if further investigations were required in the case.

The court previously approved a remand for six days from Wednesday.

It was previously reported an argument over hiding an out-of-wedlock pregnancy led to the 21-year-old woman being stabbed and later set on fire by her boyfriend. – Bernama, May 26, 2023.
