Police have completed investigations into the murder of a single mother at Flat Sri Murni in Butterworth and submitted the investigation papers to the state prosecution office for further action, said Penang police chief Datuk Azizee Ismail.

He said they are now awaiting further instructions from the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) after all investigation processes were concluded.

“The three suspects, comprising two local men and one foreign national, are still under remand,” he said in a press conference after launching Ops Selamat 25 at the Jelutong market here today.

It was previously reported that the three men, including the main suspect believed to have murdered the 41-year-old victim on February 4, have their remand extended by the magistrate.

Magistrate Balqis Roslin allowed the Rohingya suspect to be remanded for two days until February 13, while the remand of the two local suspects was extended for five days until February 16.

The victim was found dead with slash wounds to her neck in an incident at a first-floor unit of a flat in Sungai Dua, Butterworth.

The victim was said to have lived in the house with her 15-year-old son.

​Police are investigating the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

The victim’s body was sent to Hospital Kepala Batas for a post-mortem.

Meanwhile, Penang Hospital Consultant Pathologist Datuk Dr Zahari Noor confirmed that there were slash wounds on the victim’s neck.

He said preliminary investigations found that the slash wounds were believed to have been inflicted with a sharp weapon on the neck.

He added that there were no signs of a struggle, indicating that the victim was likely attacked by someone she knew and was believed to have been attacked from behind.

An e-hailing driver pleaded not guilty today at the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court to two charges of possessing a knife without lawful permission and frightening a young woman last Saturday.

The accused, Lim Toh Seng, 50, entered his plea after the charges were read out by the court interpreter before Judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin.

For the first charge, Lim is accused of possessing a knife without lawful permission under Section 6(1) of the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act 1957, punishable by up to 10 years’ imprisonment, a fine of RM10,000, or both.

The second charge accuses him of intentionally frightening a 21-year-old woman by chasing her while armed with a knife, under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, which carries up to two years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both.

Lim is alleged to have committed both offences in the parking lot of a supermarket here around 9.30pm on February 7.

Deputy public prosecutor Mohd Asri Abd Rahman Sidik proposed bail of RM30,000 and RM10,000 for the first and second charges, respectively, with additional conditions that the accused must not harass the victim and must report to the nearest police station once a month.

The accused’s lawyer, Ishak Mohd Kari, requested that the bail be reduced, citing that his client is a single father caring for an 11-year-old child and had previously lost RM10,000 after being scammed.

Raja Noor Adilla granted bail of RM8,000 for the first charge and RM3,000 for the second, with one surety for each charge, while upholding the additional conditions proposed by the prosecution. 

The court set March 26 for the case mention.

Police have recovered additional human remains at a different dump site following the discovery of limbs at the one in Taman Indah Permai here earlier this morning.

The latest find, involving the head and torso believed to be that of a woman was made at about 11.40am at another dumping area near Bataras Indah Permai Supermarket, near here.

The initial discovery was made by the disposal unit which saw an arm fall out of a black garbage bag at a rubbish site near the parking area beside the same supermarket.

The subsequent recovery came after police, assisted by garbage truck workers, conducted coordinated searches amid concerns that other remains may have been discarded at different dumping sites or transported away in refuse vehicles.

The discovered parts have been sent to the Forensic Department for investigation.
