KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — The body of a woman was found inside a car that had reportedly been stationary since last April near a business centre in Setapak last Tuesday.

Wangsa Maju District Police Chief ACP Mohamad Lazim Ismail said information on the discovery was received at 11am.

“Identification by the victim’s child revealed that the 58-year-old woman was a non-Malaysian citizen and had been reported missing from home for a week,” he said in a statement yesterday.

He said preliminary checks found no signs or elements of crime on the victim’s body or at the scene.

“The post-mortem process on the woman was conducted on Wednesday, and we are currently awaiting the results on the cause of death,” he said.

He added that investigations found that the car did not belong to the victim and was left unlocked. The case has been classified as sudden death. — Bernama
