“The police also found a kitchen knife stabbed at the victim’s abdomen which was believed to be the cause of death. The 59-year-old victim was an owner of a karaoke in Taman Pelangi,” commented Sulaiman.

The police also found a personal diary belonged to the maid. Inside, the maid who just started working for the victim 8 days ago wrote that she was not happy working for this employer.

The suspect will be detained until February 1 and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
