KLANG, Malaysia: A 90-year-old traditional masseuse was found dead in her house in Kampung Baru Telok Gong room with her hands and feet tied and mouth gagged by robbers.

It is learnt that her 20-year-old granddaughter found Asiah Pawero when she went to the house to check at about 9.30am yesterday.

A couple, who earlier went to the house for a massage, said Asiah did not answer when they knocked on the door.

Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Mat Yusop said there were no serious injuries on Asiah and that she might have died as a result of suffocation.

"We believe she was a victim of a robbery and more than one person was involved in the crime," he said.

Police are looking for an Indonesian contract worker who had been renting a room in her house for the past five years to help in investigations.
