PENANG: He was a sales assistant in a pharmacy by day and a strikingly voluptuous and beautiful model by night.

On Thursday, Roslan Abdul Rahim, a 37-year-old transvestite, was found strangled in his Jalan Sungai flat here and jealousy is believed to be the motive.

He had breast implants but had yet to undergo a complete sex change.

It is believed that he was saving up to undergo sex-change surgery, which could cost up to US$15,000 (RM50,000) in Thailand.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Azam Abd Hamid said police have arrested a man, 42, in Balik Pulau in connection with the murder at 1.30am yesterday.

“We found the victim's bank book at the man’s house. He has been remanded pending further questioning.

“A post mortem by forensic pathologist Datuk Dr Bhupinder Singh showed that Roslan was clobbered with a blunt object before being suffocated with a pillow.

“Our investigations showed that the killer was known to the deceased as there was no sign of forced entry into the flat.”

ACP Azam said Roslan was lying on his back with his hands and legs bound with wires when found, adding that there were cuts on his forehead and bruises on his body.

“We believe Roslan was murdered due to jealousy. We have also not ruled out robbery as a motive because the flat was ransacked.”

He urged those with information to contact Asst Supt Ibrahim Husin at 013 422 2424 /04-229 222 ext 1833 or the nearest police station.
