JOHOR BARU: A 26-year-old woman was brutally slashed to death on her fifth wedding anniversary.

The main suspect is believed to be her 24-year-old lorry driver husband.

Rohana Hamzah’s body was discovered at her home in Kampung Sungai Tiram here after her husband reported a burglary at about 2pm.

She had slash wounds on her neck as well as old wounds on her left arm.

However, police became suspicious when there were no signs of forced entry at the victim’s house.

Seri Alam OCPD Supt Roslan Zainuddin said police immediately detained the husband as his statement was inconsistent.

“We detained him to assist in the investigations.

“Nothing was missing from the victim’s home,” he said.

He added while there were no reports of domestic violence against the husband, neighbours and family members claimed the victim had been injured by him before.

“A post-mortem showed the victim died due to incisions to the neck from a sharp object.

“Old injuries were also discovered in parts of the victim’s body,” he said, adding the husband has been remanded until Nov 29.

Supt Roslan said the suspect also tested negative for drugs.

Meanwhile, the victim’s younger sister Hajar Hanizah Hamzah, 18, said she called the victim at about 11.50am.

“I heard my sister and her husband arguing.

“When the conversation was cut off, I tried to call again but failed to reach her,” she said, adding that the husband called the family two hours later to tell them the house had been burgled

Suspek dipercayai penagih dadah ditahan

PEKAN: Seorang ibu mati ditetak di kepala oleh anak lelakinya berusia 23 tahun ketika sedang mengangkat kain jemuran di beranda rumahnya di Felda Chini Timur 1, dekat sini, malam kelmarin.

Dalam kejadian pada jam 10.30 malam, mangsa, Che Wa Isa, 57, ditetak dengan kapak oleh anak lelakinya yang dipercayai penagih dadah.

Akibat tetakan itu, mangsa rebah di depan rumah, manakala suspek terus beredar dari tempat kejadian dengan memegang kapak.

Ketua Polis Daerah Pekan, Superintendan Yahya Othman yang mengesahkan kejadian itu berkata, mangsa disahkan meninggal dunia selepas dibawa ke Klinik Kesihatan berhampiran.

Katanya, polis menahan suspek di sebuah pondok yang terletak 100 meter dari lokasi kejadian, malam kelmarin.

“Kita turut menemui sebilah kapak pemotong sawit yang dipercayai digunakan suspek untuk menetak kepala ibunya.

“Ujian air kencing turut mendapati suspek positif ganja,” katanya di sini, semalam.

Yahya berkata, siasatan awal mendapati suspek dipercayai gemar membaca buku berkaitan makhluk halus dan dikatakan percaya ibunya sudah lama mati dan yang tinggal dalam jasad ibunya hanyalah saka dan santau.

Beliau berkata, ketika kejadian, suami mangsa, Halim Ismail, 58, sedang memberi makan cucunya berusia tiga tahun dalam rumah dan mendengar bunyi seperti benda terjatuh diikuti dengan laungan ‘Allahuakbar’.

“Selepas 10 minit kemudian, suami mangsa keluar ke depan rumah dan terkejut melihat mangsa terbaring dan bajunya dipenuhi darah,” katanya.

“Suspek kini ditahan mengikut Seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan bagi membantu siasatan,” katanya sambil memaklumkan laporan bedah siasat turut mengesahkan mangsa meninggal dunia akibat pendarahan teruk pada kepala.

Sementara itu, Halim yang ditemui berkata, beliau sama sekali tidak menyangka kejadian itu kerana menyifatkan anaknya seorang pendiam, baik serta tidak pernah meninggalkan solat.

Malah, katanya, suspek yang juga anak ketiga daripada empat beradik seorang yang rajin dan sering membantunya di kebun sawit.
