A woman was stabbed in cold blood in Batu Pahat, Johor early this morning, after her fight against a snatch-thief turned deadly.
The victim is reported to be 47 years old, and a cook who was returning home from work. She was last reported alive at 1:45am, and police have deduced that the incident occurred around 3am.
Police believe that the unnamed woman tried to fight off two attackers and hold on to her bag, before being stabbed just 50 meters from her doorstep.
Her body has since been taken to Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital for a post-mortem, and police officers are asking for anyone with any information to come forward.
