Coroner Norsalha Hamzah said the court was unable to determine how Anna died and what could have caused her death due to a lack of evidence.

“It is difficult to say how she died. Her death remains undetermined. I hereby declare an open verdict for this case,” she ruled.

Parit Buntar-born Anna went missing in Penang while on a short holiday with her husband in December 2017. She was 65.

Her remains were found at a construction site in June 2020 near the racecourse at Scotland Road, 3km from where she was last seen alighting from a Uber ride.
