KLANG: Psychology lecturer S. Karthigesu, who was acquitted of the brutal murder of beauty queen Jean Perera Sinnappa 44 years ago, passed away on Sunday (Aug 27).

He breathed his last at his home in Teluk Pulai here at about 8.40am after a short illness. It is learnt that he suffered from a heart ailment and had dementia.

It continued to stir interest for decades, and even had documentaries made by local and foreign news sources about the case. The mother of three was widowed at a young age after her chemist husband – Karthigesu's brother – was killed in a road accident in Petaling Jaya.Soon after losing her husband, she and her children moved in with her mother-in-law in Klang.

One fateful day, Karthigesu left home with Sinnappa before motorists later found him lying next to his car in a disorientated state on the Federal Highway near the Subang Airport interchange.
