Police have denied allegations of a lack of progress in their investigation into Nurul Aina Karim’s case, who is believed to have been murdered.
Kuantan police chief Wan Zahari Wan Busu said police have recorded statements from 14 people, including the doctor who conducted the autopsy on the 37-year-old woman.
“We deny such allegations as further investigations related to the sudden death are continuing. A total of 14 witnesses have been called and their statements recorded,” he said in a statement.
Last Thursday, FMT reported that Aina’s family expressed frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation into her death, claiming that the circumstances of her passing warrant a murder probe.
They said that she was found dead in her home in Bandar D’Marina in Kuantan, Pahang, on March 20.
Aina’s brother-in-law, Zainal Abidin Ali, said the family learnt of her death through her husband, who said she had died after a fall.
However, her family noticed bruises on her body and the autopsy report stated that she died of a head injury caused by blunt force trauma.
Wan Zahari had previously responded by saying that a sudden death report did not mean that the case is closed. More evidence was needed to reclassify the case as a murder.
