PETALING JAYA: The bodies of two Singaporeans, in a partially decomposed state, were discovered at a homestay in Taman Taynton View, Cheras, yesterday.
Cheras police chief Aidil Bolhassan said the bodies of the man, 43, and woman, 33, were found in a room by the homestay’s worker after he was unable to reach them during check-out.
Aidil said a charcoal burner containing burnt residue, two boxes of unused charcoal and a substance suspected to be ketamine were found in a stainless steel dish in the room.
The room’s air conditioner and windows had been sealed with plastic trash bags and tape, he added.
“Both bodies were fully clothed, in an early stage of decomposition and emitting a foul odour,” Aidil said in a statement.
“No external injuries were found, and there were also no signs of foul play.”
He said police had yet to determine the relationship between the two.
