“Internal examinations also showed internal organ decomposition and no suspicious injuries.
“As such, the case remains classified as SDR,” he told New Straits Times in a statement.
The bodies were found in the master bedroom after a member of the public alerted police yesterday to a strong odour believed to be from decomposing remains.
A team from the district’s Criminal Investigation Department, officers from Sungai Nibong police station, and the Fire and Rescue Department were dispatched and had to force entry into the unit.
