Trusted friend becomes main suspect in housemate’s murder

Tragic-find: The victim's husband discovered her body after breaking down the front door, which was locked.

PETALING JAYA: He was a trusted friend of the couple who rented the same unit on the 13th floor of Mentari Court – until he became the number one suspect in the murder of a 23-year-old housemate.

It was believed that the 36-year-old suspect from Nibong Tebal, Penang, had moved into the house three days prior to the incident on Wednesday night.
