THE decomposed body of a woman was found in a travel bag at an abandoned bus station in front of Kulai Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), yesterday.

Kulai police chief Tok Beng Yeow said the travel bag was found by a man who then reported it to the police at about 1.50pm.

He said initial investigations could not determine the gender, age and time of death from the skeletal remains, as the body had decayed by more than 50% and was infested with maggots.

He said, based on the post-mortem report issued by Sultanah Aminah Hospital, the body was female, around 25 years old, had died about two weeks ago and had a head injury.

However, Tok said police were still waiting for the full post-mortem report to determine the cause of death. Nevertheless, they were treating it as a murder inquiry.

He urged anyone with information to come forward to Kulai police headquarters or contact the investigating officer at 016-285 0204.

Meanwhile, in a separate case, Tok said one of the two male Indonesian prisoners who escaped last Tuesday, Samirudin, 36, would be remanded for four days starting today.

Yesterday, Tok said the police managed to re-arrest two male Indonesian prisoners who escaped while en route from Kota Tinggi court complex to Ledang Prison on Jalan Felda Inas towards Sengkang.

He said both detainees, Riki Rinaldi, 40, and Samirudin were found within 24 hours at two separate locations around Jalan Felda Inas-Kulai. – Bernama, April 13, 2023.
