Keningau police chief DSP Shahrudin Mat Husain said the victim was Sarah Israkil, and not a local teenager as claimed on social media.“The victim was dragged five metres under a mango tree to be burnt beyond recognition to conceal evidence,” he told reporters here today.Based on statements taken from the victim’s immediate relatives, police believe she was killed out of jealousy.
Police are hunting for a 40-year-old man to help in the investigation and have urged anyone with information on the case to contact the nearest police station. — Bernama
