Headless & limbless body found along North-South Expressway
Police told Berita Harian that passers-by spotted the bag at around 11.45am and called them.
They found the torso on the roadside as well as a suitcase, which contained more body parts.
However, the head, arms, and legs are missing, so police are still unable to identify the body. There were no identification documents either.
The victim does not appear to have had a BCG injection, which suggests that he or she may have been a foreigner.
In Malaysia, BCG vaccinations are given to all children at birth.

The case is being treated as murder under Section 302 of Malaysia’s Penal Code.
According to Section 302, the offence of murder is punishable by death.
The forensic team and K9 unit are conducting further investigations.
