MACHANG: The remains of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) officer who was allegedly killed by her husband in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, have been sent back to Tumpat for burial.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the remains of Norhazwani Ibrahim, 35, were being transported by road and expected to arrive in Tumpat on Saturday (Oct 17) night.
They were earlier sent for a post-mortem on Saturday morning.
"The victim leaves behind two children, aged five and six, who are now being cared for by her older sister,” he told a press conference after attending the launch ceremony for the 2026 Home Ministry’s Kampung Angkat Madani and Sekolah Angkat Madani initiatives here.
On Thursday (Oct 15), Norhazwani was found dead at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) staff quarters, believed to have been killed by her husband.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said police received information about the incident at 8.30pm the same day.
According to Saifuddin, the suspect had recently been released from prison after serving a sentence for a drug-related offence.
Norhazwani was reportedly in the process of seeking a divorce. – Bernama
