On Tuesday evening, police were alerted to a case at a landed property in Telok Kurau at 8.48pm. The motionless body of a 59-year-old woman was found and pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, and her 23-year-old maid was arrested for the alleged murder.
Apparently, it was the daughter-in-law of the deceased who made the police report, saying there was a commotion in the toilet on the second level. By the time the victim's husband rushed to help, the domestic helper had reportedly stepped out holding a bloodied knife. He immediately tried to disarm her, but was injured in the process.
