It is believed that a 56-year-old divorcee was doused with petrol and burnt near her Rifle Range flat on Wednesday 3:30am by her son. The victim, Chooi Kwi Chun, was found at a car park behind a post office in Taman Boundry.

Flat security guard Abdul Rahman Abdullah was at the guardhouse when he noticed something burning. After putting the fire out, he found a charred body and reported the matter to the Kampung Baru police station.

Post-mortem results suggested that Chooi was likely beaten as there were bruises on her lips and head.

The son, in his 30s, was arrested after he went to the same police station the next morning to lodge a missing person report on Chooi.

Police have classified the case as murder.

CyberSecurity’s Malaysia digital forensic department head Aswami Fadillah Mohd Ariffin continued his testimony yesterday in the High Court trial of Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was brutally murdered last year.

He said that he analysed the mobile phone calls and text messages from 12 mobile phones and 12 SIM cards, which were from political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, Azilah’s former girlfriend, Lance Corporal Rohaniza Roslan, private investigators P. Balasubramaniam and Suras Kumar, Altantuya and DSP Musa Mohd Safri.

The communications were made between 17 and 21 October 2006 and showed links between Balasubramaniam and Razak, Rohaniza and Azilah, and Azilah and Musa.

Records were also furnished by the telecommunication companies, but the ones from DiGi did not include the text messages. Aswami also showed information which were provided by the companies but not found in the phones. He explained that this was possibly because the data on the phones were erased or replaced.

Hearing continues on Monday.

In the double murder case on Monday night, police found no signs of forced entry into the apartment, and the apartment was not ransacked. No valuables nor cash were taken from the apartment. Police could not find any fingerprints from the crime scene.

37-year-old remiser Koo May Ling’s face was mutilated and there were several stab wounds on her body. Her 3-year-old son, Foo Jin Cheong, had two slash wounds on his head, one of them behind his ear.

It is believed that the murder weapon was a knife that was brought by the killer. Its handle was found near Koo’s body while the blade was in her back. Police believe that the killer was known to the victims and are appealing for anyone with information to assist them.

Koo’s husband, Foo Ji Hong, found the bodies at 9:50pm when he returned to the apartment unit of the Sri Manja condominium in Taman Sri Manja.
