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.
