Car workshop employee stumbles upon body in a bag

KUALA LUMPUR: A car workshop employee had the shock of his life when he stumbled upon the body of a teenage girl stuffed into a luggage bag along a riverbank near here. The man, in his 30s, was on his motorcycle when he spotted the bag which was behind his workshop in Ukay Perdana. Upon closer inspection, he saw the body of a girl clad in a blue dress.

Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Jalil Hassan said the man immediately informed the police at 3.30pm yesterday. “Her body was found in a foetal position with her knees touching her chest,” he told reporters at the scene. Police believed the victim was a foreigner and there were no visible injuries on the body.

“We found a piece of paper in the bag containing an Indonesian number but there are no identification documents,” he said, adding the victim had a tanned complexion. She was believed to have been dead a few hours before her body was found. The body had been sent to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital for a post-mortem.
