Subang Jaya police chief Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said they received a call from the victim’s father on Thursday morning after he had found her on the second floor of the family home in USJ2. Medical officers later confirmed that she was dead.

“A post-mortem was conducted and the cause of death was determined to be due to bleeding around the hyoid bone (neck bone), while injuries to the muscles and bones were consistent with manual strangulation.

“The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. The investigation is ongoing to obtain further information and the motive for the crime,” he said in a statement today.

Wan Azlan also warned the public against speculating on this incident.
