Families with missing persons urged to contact cops after decomposed body found at KLIA


PUTRAJAYA: Police have appealed to the public to come forward if they have missing family members, following the discovery of a decomposed female body near Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on Sept 1.

KLIA police chief ACP Azman Shari’at said that the body of the woman, estimated to be in her 20s, was discovered by members of the public at around 7.50pm. The body was in a decomposed state, and found without any identification documents.

"Investigations found that the victim was fully dressed, wearing a white T-shirt with the words ‘Fear Less’ printed on it, and cream-coloured cargo shorts.

"The body was already in a decomposed state, with only the skull remaining. Based on its condition, the victim is believed to have been dead for about a week,” he said.

ACP Azman said that a post-mortem, conducted at the Serdang Hospital Forensic Unit, revealed four suspicious injuries on the victim’s body.

He added that the case has been classified under Section 302 of the Penal Code, and the motive for the murder is still under investigation.

He urged the public or next of kin to cooperate by contacting the nearest police station, or investigating officer, DSP Tee Ah Chew, at 018-218 3555. - Bernama
