KAJANG: The bodies of a 53-year-old woman and her 25-year-old nephew are found at their home in Semenyih.
Police suspect foul play and are investigating the case as murder.
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Naazron Abdul Yusof said the woman's younger brother lodged a police report at about 8.43pm on Friday (April 25) after visiting the house and smelling a foul odour.
"He was suspicious as there was no response when he called out to them and both victims had not been seen outside for about 10 days," he said.
With the help of the Fire and Rescue Department, police entered the house and found both victims lying lifeless in the living room, he said.
"We did not find any signs of the house being ransacked. The house was also locked from the inside," he said.
ACP Naazron said police seized several items for the investigation.
"While no arrests have been made, we are taking further statements from family members and witnesses to assist with the investigation. We are also still investigating the motive," he said.
The bodies were sent for a post-mortem, and the results revealed both victims died from suffocation, he said.
"We are investigating the matter under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder," he said.
He urged those with information to contact investigating officer Asst Supt R. Umesh at 012-6114900 or any nearby police station.
