Selangor deputy police chief Datuk S. Sasikala Devi said based on initial investigations by the police, it was revealed that the 44-year-old suspect and the victim were lovers.
South Klang police chief Cha Hoong Fong said his department received a report at 2.17pm regarding the killing from a woman who reported that the victim was stabbed by a local man who then drove her away in a car.
There has been a spate of viral videos showing vehicles from neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Singapore being filled with Malaysia's heavily subsidised RON95 petrol, indicating a blatant disregard for local laws.
