Cops yet to identify man found dead in aircraft wheel well


Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar.

SHAH ALAM: The identity of a man whose body was found in an aircraft's landing gear compartment at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 2 on Aug 27 remains unknown and his remains yet to be claimed.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said police had yet to receive any information that could establish the man's identity.

"No one has come forward with any information. If there are family members whose relatives have not returned home or have gone missing, they can contact the nearest police station so that we can complete our investigation," he told a press conference on the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department's Narcotics Division achievements here on Wednesday (Sept 23).

Asked how the man came to be inside the aircraft, Shazeli said the circumstances remained a mystery and were still under investigation.

"This is not the first such case. There have been instances where individuals were found in landing gear compartments. I do not want to draw any conclusions as this could lead us in the wrong direction. We will wait for the outcome of the investigation," he said. – Bernama
