Student in remand over murder of 19-year-old friend
MARANG: A 19-year-old student was brought to the Magistrate’s Court here yesterday for the police to obtain a remand order in connection with the murder of her friend, Siti Nur Surya Ismail, two days earlier.
Magistrate Engku Nurul Ain Engku Muda then issued a remand order for the girl to be held for seven days to facilitate the police investigation on the case.
The suspect, clad in the purple police lock-up uniform, arrived at the court at 10.10am and was escorted by two policewomen.
She was arrested at 8.15am on Monday at the Telemong police station when she turned up for questioning with her mother.
A video recording of the suspect near the victim’s house had gone viral since Monday after the body of Siti Nur Surya, 19, with slash wounds on the body and left hand severed, was found in her house by her 15-year-old sister at 2.30pm on Sunday. — Bernama
