Woman found dead with hands bound in Sandakan home
Police say the incident could have stemmed from misunderstanding over house renovation fees and increase in rental for its tenants.
A 62-year-old woman was discovered lifeless, her hands tied and her head covered in a cloth, inside her Sandakan home last Wednesday, according to Sandakan police chief George Abd Rahman. The police discovered the woman's body during their inspection of her house in Tanah Merah around 8:45 pm, as reported by Berita Harian. They were alerted to the situation following a public report about an unusual smell emanating from the two-story wooden building.
The woman had apparently passed away several days prior, based on the state of her decomposition. Police apprehended ten individuals within 24 hours, leading to the identification of two suspects. George explained that the incident was likely the result of a misunderstanding concerning renovation fees and the suspects' dissatisfaction with the victim, who had increased the rental for the house's occupants.
