PETALING JAYA: A car key believed to belong to Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah was discovered in Sungai Trolak by the police’s sub-aquatic forensic unit while searching for evidence during the murder investigation.
The key was found by the forensics team 50km from a bridge in Kampung Batu 4 in Ipoh at 11.20am today, the New Straits Times reported.
Previously, the evidence search in the murder probe was halted due to rising water levels up to more than a meter as a result of a heavy rainfall on Friday (July 19) which also turned the water murky.
