It has been three years since the 65-year-old grandmother vanished without a trace, and her son Greg said the family was anxious to bury her properly.
A tailbone found in July has been identified as hers, but the authorities have yet to say whether the five bones found in August are also hers.
Speaking to FMT, Jenkins said he was wondering why there had been no digging for the rest of the bones.
“You find six bones but you would not find more,” he said. “We want to give her a proper burial.
“No matter how much we scream, justice seems distant. It is a case of murder but it is not being treated that way.
“All we want to know is what happened to our mother.”
Jenkins said the family was informed by police that a fragment of a skull, a leg bone, a finger, a hip bone and part of the spine were found at a construction site close to the racecourse at Scotland Road on Aug 12.
He complained that DNA testing on the bones took too long and said the family had not received the full report.
Police had told the family to await a court process, he said.
Jenkins also said his father Frank had been in and out of hospital after his dementia problem worsened following his mother’s disappearance and had been “very ill” for the past two weeks, suffering from “a few minor strokes” as well as prostate and breast cancer.
Malaysian-born Annapuranee disappeared during a short holiday in Penang. She was last known to have taken an Uber ride to the Ramakrishna Ashram at Scotland Road. Her bones were found 3km away from the ashram.
Northeast district police chief Soffian Santong told FMT police had recommended an inquest.
He said police would rely on advice from forensic experts and the Penang Hospital on whether to dig for more bones.
Commenting on Jenkins’ complaint about the delay in DNA testing, he said the family would have to check with the Chemistry Department.
“The Jenkinses need not worry,” he said. “They can appoint a lawyer and ask all necessary questions before a coroner.
“No need to go to the media to tarnish the image of the Malaysian police.”
