Ex-boyfriends to shed light on murder

NST, March 21 2009 -- SEREMBAN: Two former boyfriends of murdered bride-to-be Kasturi Doraisamy are expected to be questioned over the double murder of the 26-year-old and her father.

State police chief Datuk Osman Salleh said yesterday police believed the two men could shed light on the brutal killing of the clerk and her father, Doraisamy Munian, 52.

"We are not treating them as suspects in the case, but we believe they can assist in the police investigation.


"We will record statements from them soon," he said, adding that the men were not from the state.

Osman also said that Kasturi's ex-boyfriends would help police establish a motive for the killing, which is believed to be jealousy.
He added that police had concluded recording statements from the victim's family members.

Her fiance, policeman S. Dilip Kumar, 26, had said Kasturi told him that she lodged a police report three years ago against a former college mate who has been harassing her for several years.

Kasturi and Dilip, who is attached to the district police station here, were to marry today after having dated for more than two years.

The father and daughter were found dead at their Taman Tuanku Ampuan Najihah home in Senawang by Kasturi's elder sister, Kogilavani, at 12.40pm on Wednesday.

Kogilavani, who had gone to the house to help prepare for Kasturi's wedding, found the victims in separate rooms on the second floor of the double-storey terrace house.

Doraisamy suffered wounds on the neck and the right hand was almost severed, while Kasturi had head injuries and her fingers were severed.
