IPOH – Police are looking for a husband and wife couple to assist in investigations relating to the murder of an Indonesian man whose body was found in a sewage tank in Kuala Kangsar on Sunday.
Kuala Kangsar district police chief Omar Bakhtiar Yaacob said police received information that a man’s body, believed to be about 40 years old, was found in a sewage tank at about 12.20am.
“Following investigations at the site, police found the body of a man in a sewage tank that was situated behind a house. The shirtless body of the victim was clad in a sarong.
“A post-mortem carried out at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh revealed that the cause of death was due to head injuries caused by blunt trauma,” he said.
