Northeast deputy district police chief Supt V. Saravanan said police were alerted about an hour after the 7 pm incident.
He said the bloodied body of the female victim, Khin Nyein, 30, also a Myanmar national, was found on the apartment balcony while her boyfriend, in his 30s, was discovered at the parking area on the ground floor.
"A witness, who is also a colleague of the female victim, said the both of them had just returned home from work at a factory when the boyfriend came over and hugged his girlfriend.
"He then cupped her mouth with his hand and stabbed her in the stomach repeatedly with a knife... the witness tried to save her friend but was pushed away,” he said when contacted by Bernama tonight.
Saravanan said both bodies were sent to the Penang Hospital for post-mortem. - BERNAMA
