PETALING JAYA: A man detained for the murder of an elderly woman in Taman Desa Aman, Ipoh, is believed to have been intoxicated at the time of the incident.

Perak police chief Noor Hisam Nordin said the motive behind the killing of the 70-year-old was still under investigation, Berita Harian reported.

“Initial investigations found that the suspect had previously received psychiatric treatment and was intoxicated when arrested. Checks at the scene also uncovered several cans of beer,” he told reporters after an event at Universiti Teknologi Petronas in Seri Iskandar.

Noor Hisam said a medical record book was found on the suspect, showing that he had received psychiatric treatment at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta.

He also said that although the suspect and the victim were neighbours, they were not close as they lived on separate lanes about 50m apart.
