Dismembered body of woman found

PETALING JAYA: A passer-by was shocked when he found a bag containing severed human limbs near Chin Swee Cave Temple at Genting Higlands. The passer-by, who had parked his car about 500m away from the temple for a rest at 7pm saw a hand sticking out of a bag. He immediately called the police.

Pahang CID chief SAC T. Narenasagaran said police discovered a severed hand and leg. “It was dark when we arrived at the scene, so we started searching the area the next morning (yesterday). That was when we found another bag containing the torso and the head of the victim still attached, near the scene of the first find,” he said.

SAC Narenasagaran said the victim was an unidentified woman of unknown age and origin. He said police were scouring the area for the remaining limbs. SAC Narenasagaran urged anyone with information or missing relatives to contact the police.

Cut-up victim died of lung inflammation

KUANTAN: The dismembered woman found in a bag near a Chinese temple in Bentong over the weekend died of lung inflammation. State CID chief SAC T. Narenasagaran said there was no criminal element involved.

However, police would investigate the case under Section 297 of the Penal Code for treating the remains of the dead with indignity, he added. The section provides a jail term of up to three years and a fine upon conviction.

SAC Narenasagaran also said the woman’s identity could not be ascertained as the body had been mutilated. “The police believe the woman was of Indian origin, in her teens and disabled.

“Her body was badly cut up,” he told reporters when met after a farewell gathering for former state police chief Datuk Robiah Abdul Ghani at the state police contingent’s headquarters here yesterday.

It was reported that a passer-by saw a hand sticking out of a bag found near Chin Swee Cave Temple at Genting Higlands on Saturday. Police were alerted and eventually discovered several body parts stuffed in two bags.
