According to a Bernama report, Gombak police chief Assistant Commissioner Arifai Tarawe said a 39-year-old woman lodged a police report of the incident at 9.30am.

"The woman informed us that as she was about to wash her clothes, she found three dead cats inside three separate washing machines at the outlet.
