  "account": "In the early hours of September 20, a shocking discovery was made in Taman Inang Sari, Durian Tunggal. The bodies of a man and a woman, aged 31 and 33 respectively, were found inside a car. According to Alor Gajah district police chief Supt Ahmad Abu Bakar, the victims were discovered at 12.05am.\n\nBoth victims had died, and preliminary checks revealed no signs of foul play, including robbery or struggle. The mother of the woman had reported her missing on September 17, but police were unable to act on the information until they received news of the discovery.\n\nThe woman, believed to be the missing individual, was identified as a single resident of Melaka. Her employer informed the police that she had not reported for work in three days. The man was likely an acquaintance of the woman. Based on the condition of the bodies, which were already swollen, it is believed they had died about three days prior.\n\nThe bodies were sent to the Forensic Unit for post-mortem examinations to determine the exact cause of death. The case has been classified as sudden death.",
