JOHOR MARU, Malay - Police have arrested three men in connection with the murder of a 73-year-old woman in Mersing. Johor CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Amer Awal said the suspects broke into the shophouse Wong Gan Song lived in between midnight and 1.15am yesterday.
“The shophouse, located at Jalan Mersing-Jemaluang, was used by the senior community to watch television or play mahjong,” he said. The men are aged between 19 and 45. SAC II Amer also said police believe that the suspects had bound both of Wong’s hands and legs tightly, which could have caused her to suffer a fatal heart attack. “The suspects also took away a safe containing money and jewellery,” he said. He added that Wong’s son-in-law had received a call from a neighbour saying there was someone in the house. He rushed over and sent Wong to the hospital but she died a few hours later.
