SEREMBAN, Dec 24 — The body of a woman that was found in a bag buried behind a house in Rembau on December 18 has been confirmed to be that of Suri Narudin, who has been missing since December 8.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the identification was confirmed through fingerprint analysis, which matched National Registration Department records.
“Confirmation was obtained through a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis by the Chemistry Department, which showed a close familial match from a full sibling source.
“This indicated a very high probability of a relationship, strengthening the confirmation of the body’s identity as Suri, aged 53,” he said in a statement today.
Alzafny advised the public not to speculate on the case as it could affect the investigation, and urged anyone with information to contact the Rembau police headquarters or their local police station.
He said police will conduct the investigation transparently, professionally and in accordance with the law.
On December 18, Alzafny said the body found in a bag that was buried behind an unoccupied house in Kampung Batu 4, Pedas, was believed to be that of a woman reported missing in Ampang, Selangor.
Following the discovery, police arrested two men, aged 51 and 41, under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
Earlier media reports said police had sought public help to locate Suri after her aunt lodged a missing person report at the Ampang police station on December 15.
