Kuala Lumpur (Earth Times - dpa) - Malaysian police have arrested a Pakistani man believed to have been involved in the murder of a 26-year-old Hungarian flight attendant five months ago, reports said Friday. The suspect, in his 30s, was detained early Thursday at a hilltop resort in Pahang state, after the police received a tip-off from a man who recognized him, the Star daily reported.
The victim, Laszlo Bernath, was thought to have been a customer of the suspect, who was working as a sex worker in the capital Kuala Lumpur, the report said.
A member of the hotel staff who went to investigate a stench emanating from Bernath's room discovered his body on May 5.
The victim had been tied up and apparently strangled with a cable.
The hotel's closed-circuit television cameras had captured a struggle between the victim and the suspect outside the hotel room a day earlier, reports added.
Police declined to release more details, but said the suspect has been taken to the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters and would be remanded.
