KUALA LUMPUR: The naked body of a Chinese national was found with both wrists slashed at a service apartment in the city centre.

Kiang Wei, 33, believed to have been repeatedly raped, was found sprawled in a pool of blood at an apartment in Jalan Pasar in Pudu.

At 1.30am yesterday, a security guard on his rounds found the front door of Kiang's unit, located on the fifth floor, ajar.

Suspecting something amiss, he went inside and discovered the body and called the police.

Dang Wangi police chief Asst Comm Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said a police forensics team found a blood stained knife, believed to have been used in the incident.

"A used condom was also found on the floor, near the bed where Kiang Wei was. We believe the victim knew her assailants, as there were no signs of forced entry."

"The unit was not ransacked," he said, adding that police had classified the case as murder.

ACP Zulkarnain said police had yet to establish the full identity of the victim as they only found a photocopy version of her passport. "She has been here for several months."

Anyone with information on the incident can contact the Rakan Cop hotline at 03-2115 9999 or SMS 32728 or the nearest police station.
