A
Sri Lankan national who had recently graduated from college, was found dead in
a condominium in Kuala Lumpur, in what is believed to be a sex act gone wrong.
Acting
city CID chief Asst Comm Khairi Ahrasa said the 34-year-old had been dead
between four and seven days when he was found on Tuesday at the condominium in
Taman Abadi Indah.
A
friend of the Sri Lankan had sought help from a security guard when he was
unable to enter the condominium unit.
According
to ACP Khairi, the friend was unable to enter the unit because he had left his
keys with someone else.
“They
went into the unit after breaking the door lock and were greeted by a stench
coming from the bedroom.
“The
victim was found sprawled half-naked on his bed,” ACP Khairi told reporters on
Wednesday.
He
added that police have classified the case as murder.
“There
were signs of struggle in the unit. Whoever was here at the time of the murder
had rummaged through his belongings,” ACP Khairi.
Police
retrieved a Sony mobile phone, drug paraphernalia, lubricant and sex toys from
the scene.
“Based
on these findings, we believe that the victim may have been involved in
same-sex activities,” said ACP Khairi.
“We
are waiting for the post-mortem results to ascertain whether he was killed
using a sharp object. However, no weapon was found at the site,” he added.
ACP
Khairi said the victim had recently graduated from a local college and had been
living on his own, adding that he used to share the unit with three men - a
German, a Pole and another Sri Lankan.
“All,
with exception of the Polish man, have long left the country. ”
ACP
Khairi said police were looking for the Polish roommate to assist in the
investigation.
“We
have reviewed a CCTV recording of the suspect and will be releasing a photofit
of him,” said ACP Khairi.
He
also said another man, aged between 32 and 33, had been arrested in connection
with the murder.
