21-year-old woman plunges to death at HRPB, Ipoh

District police chief ACP Sum Chang Keong said in a statement late last night that the incident happened at 3.10pm and initial investigations found no element of crime in Shanina Mohamad Zuhairi's death.

The deceased was formerly a patient at Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta.

"A scrutiny of the closed-circuit television (CCTV) recording showed the deceased going up to the eighth floor and wandering around talking to herself while gesturing with her hands.

"She was then seen going down to the seventh floor from where she jumped," he said.

Meanwhile, the deceased's sister Syahirah, 23, said her younger sibling had just returned from Indonesia on Tuesday where she had sought traditional treatment for the "emotional disturbance" she had been suffering for the past few months.

"She used to receive psychiatric treatment but was no longer on medication after being advised by doctor that she had already recovered.

"But after getting married six months ago, her illness returned and we believed she was a victim of black magic," she said when met at the hospital.
