KUALA LUMPUR – Preliminary police investigation found no foul play or criminal elements in the death of three family members in an apartment in Kg Baru Ampang here on Thursday.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said police also found new leads in the case, including a suicide note containing a list of creditors.
He said police will call, among others, immediate family members of the victims, to record their statement to facilitate investigation of the case.
"The post-mortem process has been completed, but the cause of death has yet to be ascertained.
“Police are still waiting for the report from the toxicology test (to examine the presence of certain drugs or chemicals in the body),” he said today.
In the incident last week, the bodies of a 42-year-old woman and two children, aged 14 and 15, were found in an apartment in Kg Baru Ampang.
The case was classified as sudden death.
An envelope containing a will and cash was also found at the scene.
An examination by the forensic pathology team from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital found that the door and window of the apartment were tightly sealed using adhesive tape. – Bernama, September 11, 2023
