Police are suspecting jealousy as motive for D. Kasturi’s brutal killing

SEREMBAN: D. Kasturi was to have married a policeman on Saturday. But yesterday, she was found brutally murdered, with two of her fingers severed.

Her father, poultry wholesaler M. Doraisamy, 52, was also found slashed to death in their Taman Tunku Ampuan Najihah, Senawang, home.



Police suspect jealousy as the motive for the killing.

Doraisamy and Kasturi, 23, were found sprawled in blood by her sister Kogilavani in separate rooms on the second floor of their double-storey terrace house about 12.40pm.

Doraisamy was found with slash wounds on his neck and his right hand was almost severed. Kasturi, a clerk, had head injuries. Two fingers of her right hand had been severed.
State deputy police chief Datuk Abdul Manan Md Hasan said neighbours said they heard screams about 3.50am. However, no one contacted the police.

"About 12.40pm, Kasturi's sister arrived from Kuala Lumpur to help with the wedding preparations. She suspected something was wrong when she found the front gate and door of the house unlocked.

"She then saw blood stains inside the house, and when she went upstairs, she found her father and sister lying dead in separate rooms. She alerted the neighbours and the police," he said.

Abdul Manan said nothing had been taken from the house, leading police to suspect the motive could be jealousy.

"We urge the public to contact the nearest police station if they have any information."

It is learnt that police are looking for Kasturi's ex-boyfriend to assist in investigations.
