Body found stuffed in suitcase in Perak River

A body was discovered inside a suitcase in the Perak River near Sayong Bridge in Kuala Kangsar today. The decomposed remains were believed to be those of a woman who had been deceased for several days, according to reports from Berita Harian. The suitcase, wrapped in plastic, was found by a boat operator transporting tourists. Upon receiving a call from the police, five personnel from the Kuala Kangsar fire and rescue station were dispatched to the scene.

A crowd gathered to observe the police operation, which was ongoing at 6:40 pm. The forensic unit from the police arrived at the location shortly after. It was later revealed that the tourists had noticed the suitcase several days earlier but were unaware of its contents. The presence of an odor confirmed the discovery of a human body.
