He said the post-mortem revealed that the victim, a 41-year-old Indonesian woman, was murdered nearly two weeks before her body was discovered by plantation workers.
"One of the suspects has confessed to his involvement in the crime," Comm Yahaya told a press conference at state police headquarters on Tuesday (Nov 11).
He added that the victim, who lived in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, had come to the plantation to meet one of the suspects, and a dispute between them allegedly led to her murder.
Yahaya said police would apply for a remand order to complete the investigation and determine the motive. – Bernama
