Cyberjaya murder: Suspect withdrew RM200 from victim's account, cops say

The prime suspect in the murder of a university student in Cyberjaya is believed to have used the victim’s ATM card to withdraw RM200.

Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the suspect, an unemployed man in his 20s, was believed to have spent the night at the victim's house after receiving the key and access card to the condominium unit from his girlfriend, a housemate of the victim.

"During the incident, the victim's housemates, including the suspect’s girlfriend, were not at home. Police believe the case is about the suspect taking advantage of the victim,” he told a press conference at the Selangor Police Contingent Headquarters in Shah Alam yesterday.

He said the suspect was believed to have stolen several items, including the bank card, a mobile phone and a laptop belonging to the victim, after the murder.

"The suspect had disposed of the victim's mobile phone, laptop, keys and house access card. However, some of the stolen items have been recovered," he added.

The suspect was among four individuals remanded to assist the police investigation of the case.

The three others were the suspect's girlfriends. They included the victim’s housemate, who also accompanied the suspect when he went to withdraw the money.

Police were preparing the investigation papers and Hussein said they will hand them over to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's Office for further action once completed.
