They quickly detained a number of co-workers, all Asian nationals, and yesterday announced that one Asian man they had earlier detained had confessed to her murder.
A police spokesman said the accused, in his confession to police, claimed that Pinky owed him money. The spokesman added: “She asked him for a loan. She created an enemy and he took revenge this way.
“She knows him. She trusted him. They worked together and she asked him for a loan. That is, according to his confession. He may be lying.” The spokesman said they were awaiting official autopsy reports to determine how she died.
