POLICE have arrested four suspects to assist in the investigation of the alleged murder of a 43-year-old Filipino woman whose body was found at a palm oil plantation in Beaufort yesterday, said district chief Ismail Abdullah.

He added the initial investigation revealed that the victim was believed to have gone missing while going to the plantation where she worked before her body was discovered by her husband.

“The victim’s body was found in the bushes nearby with bruising on several parts of her body.

“Investigation by the CID forensic unit on the body at the scene also found that her right hand was nearly severed, with signs of cuts on the neck believed to be the result of a sharp weapon,” he said when contacted by reporters today.

Ismail said the suspects – three men and a woman, in their 30s and 40s – were remanded under section 302 of the Penal Code, and the police are actively tracking down other suspects involved in the case. – Bernama, December 26, 2023
