On 17 Jan, passers-by spotted a dismembered body and a black suitcase containing more body parts along Malaysia’s North-South Expressway near an exit. A post-mortem revealed the body belonged to a male foreigner.
Police picked up the body and sent it to Sungai Buloh hospital for a post-mortem.
According to Sungai Buloh district police chief superintendent Shafa’aton Abu Bakar, police have taken a statement from one witness.
Supt Shafa’aton said the witness’ statement was taken at 4.30pm on 18 Jan, she told Bernama.
She added that the dismembered body is believed to be a male foreigner.
The cause of death was multiple injuries, including multiple blows and injuries from sharp objects.
The victim is “believed to be a non-Muslim”. She did not mention his exact nationality.
Police are still working to ascertain his identity.
The discovery was made by unnamed passers-by at around 11.45am on Tuesday (17 Jan).
The body parts included a chopped-up torso, although no head or limbs were present at the scene initially.
However, police recovered a black bag containing a head, two legs, and hands later, Bernama reported.
Investigations are ongoing under Section 302 of Malaysia’s Penal Code, which carries the death sentence for murder.
