KLIA shooting a stark reminder of how domestic violence can escalate, says NGO


PETALING JAYA: The shooting at KL International Airport's (KLIA) Terminal did not occur in isolation and is a stark reminder of how violence against women can lead to murder, says the Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO).

In a statement issued on Tuesday (April 16), the NGO said it was referring to the recent incident where an estranged husband tried to shoot his wife at KLIA early Sunday (April 14) morning, and ended up wounding a bodyguard.
