The suspect is still on the loose and a manhunt is ongoing.

According to a New Straits Times report, Sepang police chief Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman said the victim’s body was only discovered recently.

“The victim, a student from a local university, was found dead at the scene. Preliminary checks found no signs of forced entry into the residence,” he said in a statement.

Further examinations found injuries on the victim’s head. Norhizam said the autopsy confirmed blunt force trauma as the cause of death.

The case is now being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

No element of rape in the murder, says police

Police debunked claims on social media about the victim being raped. Norhizam confirmed that the police had found no evidence indicating that the victim was sexually assaulted.

“We urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information. There is no indication of rape in this case case based on the post-mortem results,” he emphasised.

Suspect used the victim’s ATM card to withdraw cash

According to a report by Berita Harian, the individual suspected of murdering the Cyberjaya student was detected making cash withdrawals using the victim’s ATM card.

“Based on our investigation, the male suspect involved began making withdrawal transactions using the victim’s banking card shortly after the victim was murdered.

“Currently, we are conducting a detailed investigation to enable the police to identify the suspect’s identity and trace his whereabouts,” he said, noting that the bank card was among other valuables reported missing in the murder which included a laptop, mobile phone, and some cash.

Horhizam said the police are currently gathering information, and recording witness statements.
