More than 100 family members and friends attended Muhammad Iman Aqmar’s funeral which was held at about 1am on Tuesday.

His remains, discovered in a Nissan Grand Livina that was found in Sungai Api-Api two days ago, were sent to the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan for a post-mortem, and then brought home to his family home in Taman Air Biru, here, for the funeral.

On Oct 30 last year, Asmawati filed a police report on the disappearance of Muhammad Iman Aqmar after failing to contact him since he left their home in Johor for work in Kemaman, Terengganu, a day earlier.

Pekan OCPD Supt Mohd Zaidi Mat Zin said Muhammad Iman Aqmar’s remains were discovered in a Nissan Grand Livina car by an elderly man while he was doing some work near the riverbank.

The car had damage to the front, left and right, and an inspection inside found a body covered in mud and a worker's pass registered in the name of Muhammad Iman Aqmar, he said.- Bernama
