BATU PAHAT - Police have arrested a 36-year-old woman, the sister of murder victim, Mila Sharmila Samsusah or Bella, to assist in the investigation into the circulation of images of a four-year-old child on social media, at 2.10 am today.

The suspect, who appeared before Batu Pahat Magistrate Nurasidah A Rahman, was accompanied by her two lawyers, Nur Aminahtul Mardiah Md Nor and Nurul Hafidzah Hassan. - BERNAMA
