Petaling Jaya

A Bangladeshi woman, known as Anowara, aged 29, was found stabbed to death in a two-storey bungalow house under renovation in Taman Jaya yesterday.

Neighbours reported to the police when they heard some commotion at about 10am there. They found Anowara’s 37-year-old husband stabbed in the chest and bleeding. He was sent to the intensive care unit of the University Malaya Medical Centre.

Police arrived at the scene later and found Anowara’s body, with stab wounds on her chest and lower back, at the back of the house. Police are now looking for four Bangladeshi contract workers who were doing renovation work at the house. They have also found the workers’ passports and the couple’s marriage certificate.

Penang

A British taxi driver had planned to retire in the tropics because of the cold English weather. The 63-year-old man met a tour guide in London three years ago, whom he kept contact with and met many times thereafter.

The suspect managed to convince him to visit Malaysia because of the summer weather and low cost of living here. After visiting Penang, the Briton decided to move here. He then planned to transfer RM500,000 to the suspect’s account to buy the house in Butterworth for him.

The Briton realized it was a mistake when he checked with his lawyer that the sales and purchase agreement he signed was for only RM200,000 instead of the RM500,000 that he had transferred earlier this year.

Police are on the lookout for the suspect and has classified this case as criminal breach of trust.
