On the 29th of last month, a homicide occurred at a Chinese restaurant inside a shopping mall in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. A 49-year-old female Chinese manager was stabbed in the abdomen and succumbed to her injuries.
The incident has attracted widespread attention, and local police have continued to expand the scope of the investigation, with the number of suspects now increased to eight.
At the time of the incident, customers and staff in the restaurant were panicked and fled in all directions. Witnesses immediately called the police and summoned an ambulance. The victim was urgently taken to the hospital for rescue, but she died due to severe damage to her left lung and massive bleeding.
The Kuala Lumpur police are taking this case very seriously. The Chief of Police, Datuk Rusdi, revealed in his latest statement that after several days of investigation, the latest suspect—a 34-year-old Chinese woman—was arrested yesterday afternoon in front of a retail chain store near the Central Station. She is suspected of fleeing after the incident and is currently being detained for further custody.
Police had previously arrested seven suspects, including two Chinese men, four Burmese men and women, and one ethnic Chinese man. The detention orders for these suspects are about to expire, and the police have stated that they will apply for an extension to continue the investigation.
Rusdi stated that it is not yet confirmed whether the newly arrested woman is the main suspect in the case, but the investigation is being accelerated. He also emphasized that the police will do their utmost to uncover the truth of the case and report to the public.
This violent case has shocked the local community. The public is outraged by such extreme violence occurring in public places and calls for enhanced security measures to ensure the safety of citizens.
The police also promise to strengthen patrols and surveillance in public places during the investigation of the case to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Meanwhile, the police are calling on informants to provide clues to help bring all involved to justice as soon as possible.
The case is still under further investigation, and the police urge the public to remain calm and wait for the results of the investigation to be announced.
