SHAH ALAM:
Police have not determined whether the death of singer Nidza Afham Mokhtar, whose body was found on the Sungai Klang riverbank yesterday, was the result of a criminal act, says Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.

He said police would rely on the post-mortem results to guide their investigations since no witnesses have come forward with information regarding the incident.

“We can see that the victim’s mobile phone was still there, with only the bank card missing.

“We are waiting for the post-mortem results. From there, we can determine the cause of death and take further action,” Razarudin said here today when asked if the singer’s death might be linked to a robbery.

Razarudin said the post-mortem at Hospital Shah Alam was expected to be completed this afternoon, after which Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan would relay developments.

Yesterday, the body of the 23-year-old singer and YouTuber was found under a bridge in Klang at around 7.30pm after he was reported missing a day earlier while jogging alone at Sultan Suleiman Stadium in Klang.

Nidza’s younger sister, Afrina Hanie, claimed that her brother’s disappearance was related to a robbery, as his debit card and cash were missing, while his identity card, student card and photos kept in his wallet were untouched when his body was found.
