SEREMBAN, Oct 17 — Police said preliminary post-mortem findings showed that pressure applied to the neck caused the death of the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) officer found at a government staff quarters in Nilai.

Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the finding followed a nearly five-hour post-mortem examination that began at 9.40 am today at Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital here.

“The examination also found three stab wounds inflicted with a sharp weapon, two on the abdomen and one on the right cheek,” he said in a statement.

On October 15, the woman, who was in her 30s, was found dead at the quarters after she was believed to have been stabbed by her husband, reportedly following a misunderstanding.
