KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- A 35-year-old man and his wife have been
arrested over the death of their Indonesian maid, Mantik Hani, Federal CID
Director Mohd Bakri Mohd Zinin said Tuesday.

expeditiously and that all parties have confidence in the way in which it is
handled," he said in statement.

the investigation in accordance with the law," he said.
