Two students murdered, drama at Subang Airport [WATCH]

Two students met tragic ends this week in separate incidents in Malaysia. In Yong Peng, 16-year-old Irene Sofiya Mohd Khairool Faisal was found dead at her school on October 3, with her grandmother discovering her covered in blood in the school hall. Police subsequently arrested three 16-year-old boys, one of whom was remanded for six days. The post-mortem confirmed Irene died from blunt force trauma to the head, and the case is being treated as murder.

In Kuantan, a 19-year-old student named Elisa Jonova Masilamani was found dead at a house in Air Putih on October 6 following an argument with her boyfriend. The boyfriend, also 19, alerted the police, who found Elisa unconscious on a bed inside a rented room on the ground floor. A post-mortem confirmed she died from strangulation, and the suspect has been remanded for seven days until October 12. The case is being investigated for murder.

Meanwhile, at Subang Airport, four individuals were arrested moments before a private jet was due to depart for Manila. The arrest followed an investigation into a drug smuggling attempt, where Laos authorities discovered 521kg of crystal methamphetamine being smuggled to the Philippines. Among the arrested was a Malaysian pilot, and the operator of the private jet, CGT Asia Limited, has denied any wrongdoing.

The aircraft, configured for medical evacuation operations, was reported to be transporting a patient to Japan. This incident is believed to be a follow-up to the drug investigation from October 1, when a private jet from Subang to Laos was linked to the drug seizure. Four people, including a Malaysian co-pilot, were arrested in Laos following that incident.
