  "account": "PENAMPANG, October 24 — After years of evading capture, a 42-year-old murder suspect has finally been apprehended in Sabah, following a 2009 homicide in Penampang. Acting police chief Assistant Superintendent Arisanti Aziz revealed that the man was detained at a residence in Kolombong, Inanam on Thursday. Arisanti stated that this arrest was the result of relentless efforts to track down the suspect and solve the case. The suspect was sought by police in connection with the death of a man in Beverly Hills, Penampang on April 11, 2009. The investigation into the case falls under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which allows for either the death penalty or a prison term ranging from 30 to 40 years. If the death penalty is not imposed, the offender will also face at least 12 strokes of the cane, as per applicable legal provisions. Arisanti emphasized that this arrest demonstrates the police force's commitment to addressing crime, including resolving cold cases and apprehending long-desired suspects.",
