PETALING JAYA: The remand of three suspects arrested in connection with the murder of a 20-year-old university student in Cyberjaya has been extended until July 10.
Sepang police chief Norhizam Bahaman said magistrate Khairatul Animah Jelani granted a seven-day extension of the earlier remand order.
&#8220;The Sepang magistrates’ court allowed a seven-day extension of the remand, effective from July 4 to July 10,&#8221; Norhizam said in a statement.
The earlier remand order, granted by sessions court judge Azaraorani Abdul Rahman on June 27, expired today.
Police arrested the trio – a man and two women aged 19 and 20 – around Johor Bahru, Johor, and Gemencheh, Negeri Sembilan, between 9am on June 26 and 2am on June 27.
Norhizam previously said that all three suspects were known to the victim, University of Cyberjaya student Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara, who was found dead in her condominium unit by a friend at about 10am on June 24.
She was staying in the room with five other students, but her housemates had reportedly returned to their hometowns for the holidays on June 21.
An autopsy identified her cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head. Police said there were no signs that her residence had been broken into, and that she had not suffered injuries consistent with rape.
Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan yesterday said that the main suspect in the murder case used a key and access card provided by his girlfriend, who had returned to her hometown, to enter the apartment.
He said the suspect took advantage of the victim being alone in the apartment while waiting to sit her final paper.
After allegedly assaulting and killing her, the unemployed suspect is said to have robbed her, taking her mobile phone, laptop, and ATM card which he used to spend RM200.
Police also arrested a fourth suspect – a man who knew the victim but lived in a different apartment block – who is currently on remand as well.
