MUAR: Police have found a human skeleton in an unoccupied government quarters in Jalan Pesta, Bakri, here yesterday.
Muar police chief Assistant Commissioner Zaharudin Rasip said investigations found an identification card near the skeleton.
A next of kin confirmed that the identification card belonged to a family member who went missing two years ago.
“A team from the district police headquarters’ Criminal Investigation Division and a forensic team from Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital conducted a probe at the scene and ruled out foul play.
“A procedure was done to determine the cause of death and to confirm the identity of the deceased. The case has been classified as sudden death.”

“Such irresponsible acts will cause tension and misunderstanding.”
