JOHOR BARU – The decomposed body of a woman was found in a travel bag at an abandoned bus station in front of Kulai Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), yesterday.
Kulai police chief Tok Beng Yeow said the travel bag was found by a man who then reported it to the police at about 1.50pm.
He said initial investigations revealed that the skeletal remains were difficult to determine the gender, age and time of death, as the body had decayed by more than 50% and had maggot infestation.
“However, the remains were later sent to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) here for post-mortem,” he said in a statement today.
He said that based on the post-mortem report issued by HSA at about 2.30pm, the body belonged to a woman, estimated to be over 25 years old, had died about two weeks ago and the victim also had a head injury.
Tok, however, said police were still waiting for the full post-mortem report to determine the cause of death and the case was being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
He said anyone with information related to the case has been urged to come forward to the Kulai district police headquarters to assist with investigations or contact the investigating officer at 016-2850204. – Bernama, April 13, 2023
