Police confirm the body found in a bag in Rembau is Suri Narudin, missing since Dec 8, using fingerprint and DNA analysis
SEREMBAN: Police have confirmed the identity of a woman’s body found inside a bag buried in Rembau last week.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad (pic) said the body is that of Suri Narudin, who was reported missing on December 8.
Identification was confirmed through fingerprint records matching the National Registration Department.
“Further confirmation was obtained through a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis report from the Chemistry Department of Malaysia,” Alzafny said in a statement.
The DNA report showed a close familial match from a full sibling source.
This indicated a very high probability of a relationship, confirming the body as the 53-year-old woman.
Alzafny advised the public not to speculate on the case as it could affect the investigation.
He urged anyone with information to contact the Rembau district police headquarters.
The police chief assured that investigations would be conducted transparently and professionally.
The body was found buried behind an unoccupied house in Kampung Batu 4, Pedas, last Thursday.
Police initially believed it was linked to a woman reported missing in Ampang, Selangor.
Following the discovery, police arrested two men, aged 51 and 41, to assist in the investigation.
The men are being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
Suri’s aunt had lodged a missing person report at the Ampang police station on December 15.
Police had earlier sought public assistance to locate the missing woman.
