Penang police chief Datuk Dennis Lim Kwang Keng said police were conducting further investigations into the incident, with an investigation paper opened under Section 323 of the Penal Code.
“Police have recorded statements from four individuals, including the husband and wife, and no arrests have been made so far in connection with the case.
