KUCHING, Nov 3 ― The police have promised to expedite the investigation into the case of a 22-year-old woman who was found dead at an entertainment outlet here last month.

Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said police have already formed a special team to handle the case.

"This case has also caught the attention of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and a statement has been issued by the Kuching district police,” he told a press conference today.

"We promise to bring this case to a close quickly and at the moment, the public should refrain from making any speculations on the case.”

He added that once the investigation is completed, the papers would be referred to the Attorney General’s Chambers Malaysia Sarawak branch for the next course of action.
