KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Malaysian police have arrested eight Bangladeshi men in connection with the murder of an Indonesian woman whose mutilated body was found last week in the western state of Selangor, the Jakarta Globe reported on Wednesday.
The body of Suramlah from Bondowoso district in Indonesia's East Java was found on August 3 in a number of bags next to the corpse of a toddler in an apartment complex in the Malaysian suburb of Ampang. A spokesman for the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Suryana Sastradiredja, said one of the men arrested was the victim's boyfriend who lived on the same floor of the apartment building.
Selangor police confiscated a hammer found at the crime scene which is believed to be the murder weapon. "We believe Malaysia will uphold the law fairly and firmly and if the suspects are found guilty, they will be punished according to law," Suryana said, as reported by the Jakarta Globe.
Suryana added that a man from the Malaysian state of Sabah came to the police and claimed to be the the victim's husband. "He confirmed that the victim was his wife and that the corpse was their child," he said.
Bondowoso Police officers located the victim's family after visiting 20 villages in the district. According to her family, Suramlah went home in 2008 and told them that she had been married since 2005 and had a child. She then left home in 2009 without saying where she was going. Later that year, however, she sent a letter and a picture of her son celebrating his third birthday.
