Pregnant 21-Year-Old Girl Beaten To Death By Boyfriend In Selangor
Learning of a pregnancy is generally a happy affair where the couple celebrates the arrival of a new life. However, a horrifying case in Malaysia shows that may not always be the case.

After that, he tried burning the body twice to get rid of the evidence.
According to China Press, the authorities have apprehended the suspect. Investigations into the horrifying case are underway.
