PETALING JAYA:
Police have initiated a murder investigation into the death of a 20-year-old university student who was found in her condominium unit in Cyberjaya on Tuesday.

Sepang police chief Norhizam Bahaman said a police report was filed at 10.28am on the discovery of the victim in her Mutiara Ville condominium unit, which was provided for her by the varsity she was studying in.

“Investigations at the scene found no signs that her residence was broken into. Checks of the victim’s body found wounds on her head.

“An autopsy found that her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head. There were no injuries consistent with rape,” he said in a statement.

The victim, reportedly from Kuching, Sarawak, was discovered with injuries on her body by a friend at about 10am on June 24.
