KOTA BARU: The family of Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) officer Norhazwani Ibrahim, who was allegedly murdered by her husband in Nilai, Negri Sembilan, hopes justice will be served.
Her brother, Mohd Hazwan Ibrahim, 38, said the family wanted the case to be thoroughly investigated and the suspect to face appropriate punishment.

The suspect, who is in his 30s, has been remanded for another seven days, from Oct 23 to 29, to facilitate investigations into Norhazwani's death.
Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the extension would allow police to complete their investigations. The suspect was previously remanded for seven days from Oct 16.
