PETALING JAYA: A police inspector is suspected of shooting dead his pregnant girlfriend in Kampung Kakai, Serian in Sarawak on Sunday.

Based on earlier investigations, the suspect had walked into the room of the victim and shot at her.
A police spokesman said that the victim is a divorcee and have named the victim as the girlfriend of the suspect and not his wife.

The spokesman added that is was a "clear cut case" and investigations would focus on the personal aspects of the suspect and victim.
Police also revealed that the suspect had escaped via a police car.
