KUALA LUMPUR: A housewife was found dead with bruises on her face and body, believed to have been beaten up by someone known to her, at a house in Taman Puchong Utama, Bukit Puchong, early this morning.
Subang Jaya Police Chief ACP Yahaya Ramli said the body of G. Kanagaletchumi, 25, was found by her brother, lying on the floor in the house at midnight and police received a call an hour later.
"The victim is believed to have succumbed to injuries suffered from the suspect's heavy blows and the victim may have known her perpetrator," he said in a statement here today.
