PETALING JAYA: Police today said that the foreign student at a private university in Kuala Lumpur who was reported missing last week died after falling from the 26th floor of the condominium in Cheras where he had been staying.
In a statement, Cheras police chief Aidil Bolhassan said post-mortem results confirmed that the injuries sustained by Sithu Hpone Maw were consistent with the fall.
He said the incident, which occurred at around 8.30am on July 9, was captured on CCTV footage obtained from Angkasa Condominium in Taman Connaught.
Aidil said the student’s father, a businessman in Myanmar, arrived yesterday and identified his son’s body at the Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz forensic department, based on a birthmark on his waist.
“The victim’s family will be bringing his body back to Myanmar on July 22,” he said in a statement.
