TELUK INTAN: Police have identified a property inheritance dispute as the likely motive behind the murder of an elderly woman whose body was found in a car at Simpang Pulai on September 7.
Perak Police Chief Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin stated that investigations indicate the primary suspect, who remains at large, is related to the victim and may have fled overseas.
He confirmed that all nine individuals previously detained in connection with the case were also relatives of the deceased woman.
