Malaysian police have arrested a sixth suspect overseas in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 32-year-old man in Johor, expanding the investigation into a cross-border case.

Johor deputy police chief Hoo Chuan Huat confirmed that the 30-year-old Singaporean suspect was detained with the assistance of authorities in a neighbouring country. He is expected to be brought before a Johor Magistrate’s Court for a remand order.

Previously, police had arrested five individuals, including a woman, in connection with the case. Authorities have confirmed that all six suspects, as well as the victim, are Singaporean nationals.

The case stems from an incident on March 14, when the victim was attacked by a group armed with sharp weapons and stabbed in the neck. He later succumbed to his injuries at Hospital Sultan Ismail.

Police said the investigation gained momentum after the first suspect was arrested on March 18 while attempting to enter Singapore. This led to the subsequent arrests of the other suspects, who had fled across the border.

Authorities are still working to determine the motive behind the killing. The case is currently being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
