According to the police, the suspects were reportedly foreigners that lived under the residence of the elderly couple who were their tenants. The suspect duo confessed that they were unable to afford rent so they resorted to murdering the husband and wife.
They assaulted the two victims before getting rid of the evidence by disposing their weapons accordingly.
According to The Star, Shah Alam district police chief Assistant Commissioner, Baharudin Mat Taib has released a statement to announce that the murder was being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal code.
The police are in the midst of tracking down the weapons and attaining other crucial evidence that would help with the case.
RIP, Tan and Lim.
