KUALA LUMPUR: Two men were detained by the police to assist with the investigation of a charred body found inside a sports utility vehicle in a bush in Kota Warisan, Sepang, on Wednesday.
Selangor CID chief Fadzil Ahmat said the suspects, aged 42 and 38, were arrested yesterday and are under remand until Nov 5.
“The case was classified as murder.
“Based on the burnt car’s registration, the owner was a 42-year-old site engineer. Fadzil said a post-mortem by Serdang Hospital yesterday showed the victim suffered severe slashes on the body caused by a sharp object.
“The cause of death was due to the impact from an attack not from burning,” he added.
“Both detainees were friends of the victim and working as contractors,” he said in a statement today, adding that the motive for the murder is still being investigated.
