HULU SELANGOR, July 15 (Bernama) -- A relationship dispute is believed to be the primary motive behind the killing of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah, whose body was discovered in an oil palm plantation in Kampung Seri Keledang, here, on July 15, police said.
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 Bharu Court tomorrow.
“We have concluded investigations on the Nur Farah case and we have been instructed to charge the suspect tomorrow at the Kuala Kubu Bharu 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 today, which was officiated by Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan.
