SEREMBAN: Police have recorded statements from 18 people to assist investigations into the death of a Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) officer found dead at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) quarters in Nilai last Thursday.
Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the investigation paper would be referred to the deputy public prosecutor in the near future.
"The suspect, who is the victim's husband in his 30s, remains in remand until Oct 22 to assist investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
"Checks also revealed that the man has 16 previous criminal and drug-related offences," he said.
Alzafny said the post-mortem found the victim died from pressure applied to her neck, alongside three stab wounds from a sharp weapon —two to the abdomen and one to the right cheek.
The victim, who was in her 30s, was found dead after she was believed to have been stabbed by her husband at the quarters following a reported misunderstanding.
Police received a report on the incident at 9.30pm after the husband turned himself in at the Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi police station in Sepang, Selangor.
