Well, not that nobody has ever died near my place of residence - some have died of tragic deaths in the 2008 Bukit Antarabangsa landslide - but I think this is something else, a possible murder (how could it not be a murder when the victim was tied and covered with bed sheet then placed in a closet in her room? Yup, there has been a murder in Pinggiran Ukay which is very, I tell you, very near to where I stay. This is scary and sad because such an unimaginable thing could happen so near to you. What if the murderer is a maniac serial killer who puts killing as one of his resolutions for 2010? Then we are all in danger, we could bump into him at the Mamak place or at Giant maybe Petronas for that matter.
What's worse, the victim, Allahyarhamah Fazlina Ahmad, 39, is a relative of my uni friend
Farah Maizura. My condolences to her family and Al-Fatihah for Allahyarhamah. Below is a clipping of the news from the 31st Dec 2009 Sun edition.

daughter Mariam 5. | KUALA LUMPUR, (Dec 31, 2009) : Police have detained a woman, believed to be the companion of the husband of a woman who was found dead in a closet at Pinggiran Ukay here yesterday, to facilitate investigations.
Ampang Jaya District deputy police chief Supt Amiruddin Jamaluddin said the 22-year-old woman was detained at about 1.30am this morning.
"Police trailed and monitored the activities of the woman from 9pm yesterday after the husband of the victim had gone missing since the body of his wife was found dead in a closet," he told Bernama when contacted here today.
Yesterday, the victim, Fazlina Ahmad, 39, was found dead in a master bedroom closet of her house in Jalan Piggiran Ukay, with her mouth and nose wrapped with binding tape and covered with a piece of bed sheet.
Acting on a report from the victim's friend whose efforts to contact the victim were futile, police went to the house at about 9pm yesterday before discovering the body in the master bedroom of the double-storey house.
Amiruddin said police did not rule out family problem as the motive of the murder but said that police did not receive any report of abuse although the couple were married for about six years.
He added that Fazlina, a mother of two girls aged five and seven, was believed to have died due to suffocation about nine hours before the body was found but added that there were no marks or indication of any struggle.
"We are still waiting for the post-mortem report and looking for the victim's husband to assist investigations," he said.
Meanwhile, the elder sister of the victim, Faezah said she last met Fazlina, her youngest sister last Saturday when she returned to her hometown in Jelutong, Penang for holidays.
"My sister who came to Penang on Dec 26 had promised to return on Dec 30 to relate her problems...I guessed it must be her family problem," said Faezah when met at the Kuala Lumpur (HKL) mortuary.
"We have no knowledge of the problem between her and her husband ands when we received news of her death last night, we were shocked."-- BERNAMA |
