PETALING JAYA: A love triangle is believed to be the reason for the brutal murder of Parhwine Lucia Mejia Kaur (pic), whose body was found in a drain near a football field in Bandar Puchong Jaya on Tuesday.Serdang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Razak Elias said investigations revealed that the 18-year-old might have been the victim of a love triangle that went awry.
He added that Parhwine's boyfriend, who is in his 20s, was detained a few hours after her body was found at 6.50pm. Her motorcycle was found some 50m away.
“He is the prime suspect. However, there is a possibility that there were others involved as well,” he said yesterday.
It is learnt that Parhwine was murdered after a quarrel with her boyfriend over his “indiscretions” with another woman.
The boyfriend was said to have cheated on her with another girl and sources revealed that the boyfriend was the last person seen with the victim before she died.
ACP Abdul Razak said police were also investigating several blogs which picked up the story on the murder.
“Some blogs had highlighted a comment on the victim's Facebook page, taunting the police saying Parhwine's murderer will never be caught.
“We are working together with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to find out who had posted the comment. It may also have been a sick joke posted by a hacker,” he said.
ACP Abdul Razak said a post-mortem revealed that Parhwine died due to loss of blood from severe neck injuries. Parhwhine was reported missing on Monday, a day before her body was found.
Friends and family members told the police that the victim knew the suspect for only four months and that they were always arguing.
ACP Abdul Razak urged anyone with information to call the police hotline at 03-2052 9999 or visit the nearest police station.
