Sinar Harian reported that the 24-year-old suspect was nabbed together with another man at about 7pm yesterday by the General Operations Force in Kampung Bukit Lata, near Jeram Perdah, Pasir Mas.

Pasir Mas police chief Kama Azural Mohamed said the suspect denied shooting the woman or being involved in the incident.

He said both men, aged 24, tested positive for methamphetamine use. The man arrested with the murder suspect has previous convictions for drug-related offences.

The murder suspect, who is from Kampung Pak Jak, Pasir Mas, has been remanded for seven days until July 30 to assist in investigations.

Magistrate Syed Farid Syed Ali issued the remand order.

In June 2022, a 26-year-old woman, who was seven months pregnant, was found dead with a gunshot wound to her abdomen.

She was discovered in a car by the roadside in Kampung Repek.
