Four people could face the death penalty after being charged with murdering a trans woman in Bukit Tinggi, Malaysia.
The 32-year-old trans victim, who came from Sabah on Borneo island, died on December 13.
She was found brutally beaten with a blunt object, according to the New Strait Times.
Her autopsy showed 32 separate injuries on her body, including a cracked skull and internal haemorrhaging in the brain.
Police have reported that the attack took place after accusations that the victim stole one of the suspects’ mobile phones in November.
On Monday (December 24) at Klang Magistrate’s Court in Selangor state, 21-year-old Low Shi Haur, 19-year-old Tan Khim Siang and two boys aged 16 and 17 were charged under Section 302 in the Penal Code.
