SEREMBAN: Police said the identity of a woman whose body was found in a bag buried behind an unoccupied house in Kampung Batu 4, Pedas, Rembau, on Friday (December 19), has yet to be identified.
Negeri Sembilan deputy police chief SAC Muhammad Idzam Jaafar said the body’s decomposition suggests that the woman had been dead for more than three days.
“We have collected DNA samples from people believed to be the victim’s relatives, and the results will take time,” he told Bernama tonight.
