Surveyor finds skeletal remains on Uniten grounds

Skeletal remains believed to be that of a woman were found at the Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) in Sepang yesterday.

Sepang district police chief ACP Abdul Aziz Ali said the skeletal remains were found by a surveyor who was carrying out survey work within the university area, together with his colleague.

“When carrying out his work in the area, the complainant saw slipper, clothes and pillow at one of the checkpoints and as he approached it, he found some large bones, believed to be human bones, wrapped in a bed cover,” he told the media when contacted last night.

Abdul Aziz said the skeletal remains were without identification.

They were found in a rubber plantation that was abandoned within the university area, about one kilometre from the rugby field and 30 metres from the power substation.

The skeleton was found together with the victim's belongings, including slipper, ring, bracelet, dark-coloured jacket, belt and underwear, he added.

“The victim is believed to have been a woman and it is likely the victim’s body was left in the area about a year ago before being found,” he said.

Abdul Aziz said the public who had any information regarding the case should contact the investigating officer Wan Azirul at the Sepang district police headquarters (03-8777 4222) or call any nearby police station.

The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
