Police Chief Superintendent Tok Beng Yeow said he was alerted to the discarded suitcase at around 1.50pm and found the remains ’50 per cent’ decomposed. 

The woman’s death probably happened ‘two weeks ago’ and she had suffered a head injury ‘below the scalp’, according to a preliminary post-mortem report by Sultanah Aminah Hospital.

‘A preliminary inspection at the scene failed to determine gender, age and estimated time of death due to the advanced stage of decomposition.

‘There is also an injury below the victim’s scalp. However, the cause of death is still under investigation. The case is classified under section 302 of the penal code for murder.’

He appealed to anyone who has information on the case to contact the Kulai police or investigating officer at 016-2850204.
