Search ongoing for dismembered murder victim's arm and leg


KOTA KINABALU: Police are still looking for the last two missing body parts of a dismembered murder victim.

City acting OCPD Supt Syed Lot Syed Ab Rahman said the main suspect, a 71-year-old man, gave them the approximate location and efforts to find the remains are ongoing.

"As it is still early in the investigation, there are details we cannot reveal at the moment," he told the media after launching Ops Selamat in conjunction with Chinese New Year here on Wednesday (Feb 18).

The two missing parts are an arm and a leg.
