Still no clues on body of woman found in suitcase in Perak River

On August 14, the lifeless body of a woman was discovered inside a suitcase submerged in Sungai Perak, near Lembah Jetty in Kuala Kangsar, Perak. Police speculate that the unidentified victim, believed to be in her 30s, was forcibly restrained and her face concealed prior to her tragic demise. Perak police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin stated that the victim's identity has not been determined, and there are no records or missing person reports linking her to the case.

Forensic analysis of the woman's remains is underway, a process that may extend due to the substantial number of samples collected.

In an effort to identify the victim, police are collaborating with various agencies, including the immigration department and Interpol. The body was found after a suitcase became lodged in the shallows of the river, where low water levels had made it easier to detect.
