Kuantan police chief Wan Zahari Wan Busu said police have recorded statements from 14 people, including the doctor who conducted the autopsy on the 37-year-old woman.

“We deny such allegations as further investigations related to the sudden death are continuing. A total of 14 witnesses have been called and their statements recorded,” he said in a statement.

Last Thursday, FMT reported that Aina’s family expressed frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation into her death, claiming that the circumstances of her passing warrant a murder probe.

They said that she was found dead in her home in Bandar D’Marina in Kuantan, Pahang, on March 20.

Aina’s brother-in-law, Zainal Abidin Ali, said the family learnt of her death through her husband, who said she had died after a fall.

However, her family noticed bruises on her body and the autopsy report stated that she died of a head injury caused by blunt force trauma.

Wan Zahari had previously responded by saying that a sudden death report did not mean that the case is closed. More evidence was needed to reclassify the case as a murder.
