Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim said the 29-year-old victim had a husband, known as Md Shahzada Saju, 37.

He said police were tracking down her husband, who is also a Bangladeshi, to help in investigations into the case.

He said the man, who was previously working in a food outlet here, was said to be in Johor.

“The victim’s passport is also believed to be with the husband.”

Members of the public with information relating to the case can contact ASP Faizal Abdullah at telephone number 012-4834439 or DSP M.Gunalan at 019-3114418.

On July 5, a homeless woman who lived near the location where the body was found, lodged a report at the Putra Chow Kit community police station about the suitcases.

Police later found body parts, wrapped in two plastic bags and a bedsheet in two suitcases, which were found 20.6 metres apart.

Police also found a locket with the romanised word “Allah” and a necklace on the woman’s body.
