SHAH ALAM: Police believe they have solved the murder of Kota Raja MIC division Youth chief Selvadhurai Sagadevan with the arrest of a woman, her boyfriend and a teacher.

The woman was picked up at her home in Taman Sri Muda here about 10am on Wednesday and was remanded for five days at the Shah Alam court.

The woman, in her early 30s, is a close relative of Selvadhurai. She confessed that her 34-year-old boyfriend was involved in the murder.

The man was arrested at his home in Klang followed by the teacher here the same day.

The woman had been using the teacher's handphone. Police are trying to establish the connection between the woman and the teacher, a man in his 30s.

Shah Alam police chief Assistant Commissioner Noor Azam Jamaludin said he did not rule out the possibility that the murder was committed for insurance money.

It is learnt that Selvadhurai had been insured for about RM1 million.

Selvadhurai was reportedly strangled during a robbery in his wife's office in Section 25, Taman Sri Muda here, on April 28. His wife, who was present, said he was assaulted with a metal rod.
