ALOR STAR: Police discovered the dismembered body of a 38-year-old Bangladeshi man in a house at Kampung Pengkalan Lebai Man, Sungai Petani, early this morning.
The gruesome finding of Azad Late Mofyan Uddin’s body was made after his girlfriend asked for police assistance in locating him, as he had been missing for four days.
Kedah police chief Datuk Asri Yusof said Azad’s dismembered head and limbs were found in three plastic sacks hidden underneath a concrete kitchen cabinet in his rented house.
He said police are now looking for Azad’s two housemates, aged 37 and 50, also from Bangladesh, to help shed light on the case.
“The three had been living at the house for five months.
“On June 10, the 31-year-old girlfriend went to the house to visit the victim, but his two housemates refused to let her in.
“Suspecting something amiss, she went to the police station at 1am today requesting our assistance,” he said at a press conference.
Asri added that initial investigation showed that Azad could have been killed four days ago, and that police have classified the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
The dismembered body was sent to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital for post-mortem
