KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — A man who returned to retrieve a luggage, said to contain a golden statue in a jungle along Karak Highway on Thursday, was shocked to find a man’s body inside.
Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Abdul Jalil Hassan said scared by the discovery, the man hid the body and only reported it at Bentong police station on Saturday.
He told police that a woman staying in an apartment in Pandan Mewah had asked him to dispose the luggage said to contain a golden statue.
The woman paid the 30 something man from Penang RM100 to dispose the luggage.
“The man disposed the luggage as asked but returned at 5pm the same day to retrieve the ‘golden statue’.”
Abdul Jalil said police then raided the woman’s apartment in Pandan Mewah but found the premise empty.
A check with Immigration Department found that the woman had returned to India with her 8 year-old daughter one day after the body was disposed.
“Police have failed to locate the woman’s husband. We are still waiting for a post-mortem report on the body to ascertain whether it is that of the woman’s husband,” he said. — Bernama
