KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — The body of a taxi driver was found in a rolled-up mattress under a pile of clothes in unit of the Danau Kota Flats here yesterday.

A neighbour, who wanted to be known only as Liew, 55, said he often heard quarrelling coming from the house of the 58-year-old taxi driver, who lived with a woman, in her 30s, and a baby girl.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur CID chief SAC Rusdi Mohd Isa said the report about the discovery of the body was received at about 12.40pm and a press conference on the case would be held today. — Bernama
