A 32 year old Thai woman met her untimely demise after being allegedly pushed by her boyfriend from the 23rd floor to the seventh floor of a condominium in Setia Alam, Malaysia.

Shah Alam OCPD Assistant Commander Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim disclosed that the authorities received a distressing report regarding the incident precisely at 10.02pm local time (9.02pm Thailand time) last night.

ACP Mohd Iqbal stated in a press release today that according to an eyewitness, the Thai woman and the suspect were engaged in a heated argument before the unfortunate push occurred from the 23rd floor of the condominium.
