Woman nabbed in body parts case

KUALA LUMPUR: A woman has been arrested in connection with the murder of a man whose body was chopped into 11 parts and stuffed into a refrigerator inside a posh condominium in the prestigious Mont Kiara area here.

The woman, in her 30s, was arrested when she went to the Brickfields police station at about 2pm Monday to assist in investigations. It is believed the woman is the wife of the victim.

City CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Ku Chin Wah, who confirmed the arrest, said police believe they have solved the case with the arrest of the woman.

He declined to reveal or comment on the identity, nationality and background of the man as investigations were still underway. Police are also checking if more than one person was involved in the murder.

On Sunday, a condominium owner who bought the auctioned luxury unit got the shock of his life when he found the body parts in a refrigerator.

The owner, in his 30s, made the gruesome discovery when he went to clean the 19th-floor apartment.

The apartment had been vacant for more than three months and the man only received the keys to the apartment on Friday and had decided to clean up the property with his sister at about 3pm.

The man suspected something amiss when he smelled a strong stench after opening apartment door.

He immediately called the security guards who found the body parts in a refrigerator, which had been sealed with masking tape.

The body was believed to have been in the refrigerator for about a week.

Police found a photocopy of a driving licence of a woman named Nora Jawi Spreen Jawi with the address USJ2/4D Subang Jaya
