Juru double murder: Court grants 7-day remand on 3 Nepalese men

Three Nepalese men who were arrested yesterday for their alleged involvement in the murders of a woman and her daughter in Kampung Sekolah Juru were remanded for seven days, beginning today.

Penang police chief Azizee Ismail, when contacted, said the remand order was granted by the Bukit Mertajam Magistrate's Court until Oct 31 to assist in investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Yesterday, Azizee said police arrested three men, including one believed to be the main suspect, aged between 30 and 40.

It is understood that the main suspect was detained at the immigration office and was attempting to flee abroad, while the other two were arrested at a residence in Bukit Tengah.

Last Saturday, the media reported that Sariya Che Hin, 51, and her adopted daughter Nur Afrina Alisha Abdul Rahim, 11, were found dead in a house in Kampung Sekolah Juru, believed to have been murdered.

The woman's body was found in the kitchen on the ground floor of the house while her daughter was on the top floor of the rented house.

Following the incident, police have arrested three suspects, including the victim's 57-year-old husband, to assist in the investigation.
