On July 5, a homeless woman who stayed near the place where the corpse was discovered lodged a police report at the Putra Chow Kit Community Police Station about the “suspicious” bags.
Following the report, the police found human remains packed in the bags.
The police also found a pendant with the word “Allah” in Jawi letters and a necklace on the body.
Meanwhile, in KUALA TERENGGANU, police are looking for a construction worker to help in the investigation into the stabbing of a fish vendor in Kampung Tanjung Gelam, Mengabang Telipot, here on July 7.
Kuala Terengganu district deputy police chief Supt Suffian Sulaiman said police believed the 47-year-old man was still in the state.
