KUALA LUMPUR: The wife of murdered contractor S. Sivanathan and one of his workers have been detained by police for questioning.
Selangor Criminal Investigation Department chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Hasnan Hassan, when contacted, confirmed that R. Kavita, 31, and another man had been picked up.

Police believe the duo can assist in investigations into the brutal slaying of Sivanathan, 31, in his bedroom in Bandar Bukit Tinggi 2, Klang, on Feb 22.
Hasnan, however, declined to give details.
It is learnt that police are looking for two other men in connection with the killing.
Sivanathan was asleep when three men walked into his house and slashed him on the neck, legs and hands at 9.15am.
Kavita had earlier said she had opened the front gate to drive to the market when her 3-year-old daughter started crying and insisted on following her.
As she alighted from the car and went into the house to get her daughter, three men brandishing parang walked into the house.
The men herded mother and child into one of the rooms downstairs and told them to be silent.
She had said she waited for several minutes and when there were no more movements in the house, she opened the room door and dashed out of the house to scream for help.
Several neighbours climbed on the roof of the porch and broke one of the windows of the master bedroom.
Sivanathan was found in a pool of blood on the bed, barely moving.
He was rushed to hospital where he died in the intensive care unit due to blood loss.
