The man who allegedly murdered a woman believed to be his mother and stuffed her body into a freezer about three years ago was remanded for seven days starting today.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa said the 53-year-old unemployed suspect will be remanded until Nov 19.

He said the suspect has no prior criminal record and the police are awaiting a health report from the hospital as well as the autopsy report on the victim’s body.

“The suspect himself contacted the police to surrender, and his actions are still under investigation,” Rusdi said in a statement today.

At about 8.45am yesterday, police were alerted to the discovery of a woman’s body at a house in Taman OUG, Kuala Lumpur, leading to the arrest of the suspect.

The victim’s body was sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre for a post-mortem and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code on punishment for murder.
