Providing updates on the investigation, a police source, who wished to remain anonymous as they were not authorised to speak on the matter, said the househelp confessed to the crime during interrogation.
The source clarified that the deceased was murdered inside her room, and her body was dragged outside the gate to make it appear as though she was killed there.
"The deceased was killed in her room, and her body was dragged to the front of the gate to make it look like she was killed on the spot. After that, all the blood stains were carefully cleaned, but they missed some spots because it happened at night," the source explained.
"The househelp did not deny what happened. She said, ‘We do am, na we do am,’ during interrogation, and everything she said tallied with the evidence on the ground," the police source disclosed.
The suspects were also reported to have packed all the valuables of the deceased after killing their boss.
