Sungai Buloh District Police Chief, Superintendent Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor, said PDRM received a call from the suspect himself at 8:45 PM on Saturday (August 23).

In the call, he confessed to the murder, citing “stress” as the reason behind the killing.

PDRM then deployed officers to the scene at a flat in Kampung Baru Subang, Shah Alam. When the police arrived, a man, who was the tenant, told the officers that there was another man and his 52-year-old girlfriend renting a room at the back of the house.

The officers knocked on the room’s door, and a man opened the door before the police found a woman on the bed, unconscious.

Two medical personnel from the Sungai Buloh Hospital announced the woman’s death at the scene, confirming that she had passed away four hours before she was found. She was believed to have been strangled by the suspect, reported Kosmo!.
