KOTA KINABALU: Jealousy has been identified as the main motive behind the brutal murder of a woman found dismembered in Indah Permai following the arrest of two suspects.
The suspects, a father and his son, were arrested to facilitate investigations just hours after body parts were found in several dump sites in Indah Permai near here on Thursday (Feb 12).
The main suspect, a 70-year-old, was first arrested in the city at around 5pm while his son, in his 20s, was nabbed at approximately 11pm from a residential area in Sepanggar.
Both will be investigated for murder.
Kota Kinabalu acting OCPD Supt Syed Lot Syed Ab Rahman confirmed the arrests.
This arrest has led to the solving of the case, though investigations are ongoing to complete investigation papers, he added.
Earlier Thursday, a trash collector stumbled upon a dismembered arm that fell out of a rubbish bag when picking up trash.
This led to more discoveries of body parts.
