  "account": "In Tumpat, the family of a 35-year-old Customs officer were left shocked when the suspect informed them of her death. The victim's elder brother, Hazwan Ibrahim, 38, recounted how the suspect called him around 7:30pm yesterday and informed him that his youngest sister, Nor Hazwani Ibrahim, had passed away. He was asked to be a witness to their divorce, which Nor Hazwani had filed for in September, and was scheduled to attend a hearing at the Tumpat Syariah Court on November 3rd. Hazwan had advised his sister and her husband to remain amicable despite their marital issues. He last saw Nor Hazwani at her home in Kuala Lumpur International Airport quarters in Nilai, before returning to Kelantan. The couple had two daughters, aged 5 and 6, who had not yet been told of their mother's death. The family anticipates the victim's body will be returned to Kelantan following a post-mortem examination. According to Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad, the police received information about the incident around 8:30pm.",
