It was sadly announced this week that Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara, a college student in Cyberjaya, was found dead in her dorm room. She was just 20 years old.
Kaur, a physiotherapy student at the University of Cyberjaya, was left alone in her dormitory starting on June 21. While the events leading up to her death are still unclear, the police found no signs of forced entry or sexual assault.
The cause of death for Kaur was blunt force trauma to the head. A man and two women were arrested in connection to this killing.
"The arrests were made within 48 hours of the report being received," district police chief Norhizam Bahaman said. "We hope the public will not speculate on the case or share unverified news that could jeopardize the investigation … We will take stern action on any unlawful act."
Even though arrests were made this week, that doesn't erase the pain that Kaur's family is feeling.
"I don't know how to respond. We're still devastated from Maniisha's death, and now we've lost another family member," Kaur's uncle said, via the Hindustan Times.
Prayers have been pouring in for the Kaur family over the past few days.
"This morning, I took the time to visit the family of the late Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara, the victim of the tragic incident at Mutiara Ville, Cyberjaya, before making my way to Putrajaya. I spent some time speaking with the grieving family," Nancy Shukri wrote. "I extend my deepest condolences to the family on their heartbreaking loss. May they be granted strength and perseverance during this time of sorrow."
"The loss of Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara is a tragedy that has touched many hearts. Her passing is not merely a loss, but also a question that demands answers," one person said.
"Shocked and saddened RIP Maniishapriet," another person wrote on X.

Central Florida woman arrested after leaving multiple pets to die in abandoned house, police say
A 57-year-old Central Florida woman was arrested for aggravated animal cruelty after the discovery of dead pets in an abandoned home on Friday, according to a release from the Edgewater Police Department. Officers responded to a call in the 3100 block of Pine Tree Drive in the southeast Volusia County city following a report related to possible animal abuse, the release stated. Access to the property had been granted to stakeholders of the home after a long-standing civil dispute. The residence had been vacated over a year ago by Danielle McGinnis, police said. Upon entering the home, officers found remains of two dogs, two cats and three birds all in advanced stages of decomposition. Police said there was no sign of food or water for the animals, and investigators believe the animals died from prolonged starvation or dehydration, according to the release. Police said they also found deplorable living conditions such as widespread animal feces and severe disrepair, rendering the property uninhabitable. Neighbors confirmed they had not seen McGinnis at the residence in nearly a year, police said. McGinnis was later located in Daytona Beach and was interviewed by officers, the release stated. During the interview, she admitted to leaving the animals inside of the home when she moved out a year ago. She claimed to have asked a friend to look over the animals but couldn't provide a name or contact information. McGinnis was arrested and charged with seven counts of aggravated animal cruelty resulting in death, the release said. She was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail with a bond set to $70,000. Edgewater Animal Control removed the dead animals from the property for respectful handling and appropriate final disposition.
