HULU SELANGOR: A relationship dispute is believed to be the primary motive behind the murder of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah, whose body was discovered in an oil palm plantation in Kampung Seri Keledang, here, on July 15, said police.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said investigations into the case were complete, and the suspect will be charged with murder at the Kuala Kubu Baharu Court on Friday (July 26).
“We have concluded investigations on the Nur Farah case and we have been instructed to charge the suspect on Friday at the Kuala Kubu Baharu Court. We believe the motive for the murder is related to a relationship dispute.
He was speaking to reporters after attending the ‘Crime Prevention from a Religious Perspective: Crime Does Not Discriminate by Skin Colour’ programme in Hulu Selangor, in Batang Kali on Friday, which was officiated by Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.
Hussein said the police have sufficient evidence to charge the suspect based on evidence found at several locations here and in Perak.
Nur Farah Kartini, 25, was reported missing on July 10 after dropping off a rental car to a customer, and her body was found in an oil palm plantation in Hulu Selangor around 6pm on July 15.
Following this, a 26-year-old man, who is a police officer stationed in Perak, was arrested and remanded until Monday to assist with the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. – Bernama
