KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — One of the two nuns attacked during a recent robbery at a Seremban church succumbed to her injuries today, district police and lawyer Joy Appukuttan confirmed.
“V just lost Sr Juliana… may her soul rest in peace,” Joy said in a text to The Malay Mail Online.
The former president of the Catholic Lawyers Society Kuala Lumpur also said the Sisters will issue a press release shortly.
In the attack last week, two elderly nuns — Julianna Lim Nyo Nya, 69, and Marie-Rose Teng, 79 — had their handbags snatched from them at 6am at the main entrance of the Church of Visitation.
Their attacker used a helmet to hit them, leaving Lim in a coma.
Lim’s bag only contained RM10 and three pocket bibles, while Teng’s contained “a little” cash and a mobile phone, according to Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Osman Salleh.
Seremban police confirmed with The Malay Mail Online that Lim passed away at 3.25pm this afternoon.
The case, initially investigated as a robbery under the Penal Code, has now been reclassified as murder under Section 302.
