16-year-old girl nabbed over murder of beautician
JOHOR BARU: The arrest of a 16-year-old girl found hiding inside a Chinese temple, apart from the detention of two other suspects, concludes police investigations into the murder of beautician Amy Liew.
The arrests of all three suspects happened within 12 hours after the crime at Taman Bukit Indah here on Saturday morning.
The first male suspect was detained at about 2pm in Tampoi within three hours of the murder.
“Following the arrest, we nabbed another male suspect at a petrol station in Pekan Benut at about 5pm on the same day.
“The last suspect, who is a 16-year-old girl, was found hiding in a Chinese temple in Pekan Benut at about 9.45pm,” Nusajaya deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Razak Md Said said du*ring a press conference yesterday.
He added that the two male suspects were friends while the third suspect was the girlfriend of one of the suspects.
He also confirmed that the motive was robbery and had ruled out other possibilities.
It is believed that the three and Liew had gotten into a scuffle before the robbers attacked her with a knife.
“The robbers went in prepared with a knife and pointed it to the victim, ordering her to hand over her valuables,” said DSP Razak.
Police believe the suspects began stabbing her with the knife when she refused.
DSP Razak added that the post-mortem report confirmed that Liew, 39, had died due to stab wounds in her abdomen.
It was earlier reported that Liew, owner of a beauty centre in Taman Bukit Indah here, was stabbed to death by three robbers at her shop after they had entered under the pretext of being customers at about 11.30am on Saturday.
The suspects, aged between 16 and 37, are under remand for seven days from Sunday.
