THE foreign man and woman arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a woman near Skudai on Sunday have been remanded for seven days.

Johor Baru Utara district police chief Balveer Singh said the remand order against the suspects was issued by magistrates’ court senior assistant registrar Nur Khalida Farhana Abu Bakar under section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

“The duo will be remanded until December 31,” he said in a statement today.

According to Balveer, the 24-year-old man, who is the victim’s brother, and the 41-year-old woman, lived in the same house as the victim.

A 41-year-old foreign woman was found stabbed to death in a house in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah early Sunday morning.

The police then arrested a 41-year-old foreign woman and a 24-year-old foreign man at 7.47pm the same day and seized a knife at the scene of the crime. – Bernama, December 26, 2023.
