The woman’s body was discovered inside a Proton Wira parked in front of a house, while the man was found lying on a road within the housing estate with multiple stab wounds.
“The injuries are believed to have been caused by a sharp object,” Mohd Hamizi said at the scene in the early hours of Friday.
“The case is still under investigation, including how the events unfolded and led to their deaths.”
Police are looking into the relationship between the two victims. The man is believed to be from Yan and the woman from Sungai Petani.
