The body of a woman, which was found in a travel bag at an abandoned bus stop, was found to be rotting. According to Malaysian police, they are looking into the woman’s death.
Earlier this week in Kulai, a neighborhood in the southern state of Johor, a bystander discovered the bag close to a structure owned by the state electrical provider Tenaga Nasional Berhad, according to state news agency Bernama.
According to Bernama, Kulai district police commander Tok Beng Yeow stated that the body’s first identification efforts had been hampered by its extremely decomposed state, which he estimated to be at more than 50%.
However, a preliminary post-mortem report by Sultanah Aminah Hospital suggested the body belonged to a woman over 25 years of age, who had sustained a head injury and may have died around two weeks ago.
The district police chief said an investigation is ongoing as he appealed to local residents to come forward with information.
