Murdered MCBA officer’s body to be buried in Kelantan as young children told she died of illness

The body of 35-year-old Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) officer Norhazwani Ibrahim, allegedly murdered by her husband in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, is being transported back to Kelantan for burial. Post-mortem examinations completed this morning found two stab wounds on her left abdomen and another on her right cheek.

The suspect, recently released from prison for a drug offense, has been remanded for seven days. Norhazwani leaves behind two young children, aged five and six, who are currently taking care of by their maternal aunt. The victim's elder sister, Marliza Ibrahim, 48, told the children their mother died of illness to protect them from the gruesome truth.

The family plans to bury Norhazwani at Tanjung Muslim cemetery in Pengkalan Kubor as soon as the body arrives.
