Meanwhile, DSP Asri said the search at Sungai Trolak could not be conducted on Saturday due to unsuitable conditions.

"The Mualim district police headquarters discovered the river was not suitable for divers," he said.

It was previously reported that the police searched Sungai Trolak in Kampung Batu, Perak, in search of evidence on Friday (July 19).

However, the search had to be halted after about two hours due to murky water following rain, Supt Ahmad Faizal said.
