Malaysian cops arrest 2 suspected killers of Pinay maid in Petaling Jaya

Malaysian police arrested this week two suspects in the killing of a Filipina helper in Petaling Jaya last month, a Malaysian news site reported Saturday. Star Online quoted Petaling Jaya district police officer in charge Arjunaidi Mohamed as saying a love triangle appeared to have led to the killing of the Filipina, who was not immediately identified in the report. “We believe that both men, who were in a relationship with the deceased, resorted to killing her because they were jealous," according to the report, citing Mohamed. He said the two men were arrested in Jalan Ipoh around 10:15 p.m. Thursday. Also, police seized various items including an iPad tablet stolen from the maid’s employers’ home. The maid was found in Petaling Jaya’s Jalan Gasing road last July 23. The Star Online report said police believe they have “wrapped up" their investigation with the arrest of the two suspects. — JE/VS, GMA News
