KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — The body of a man stuffed inside a suitcase was found at Jalan 3, Pandan Industri in Pandan Indah here yesterday.

The victim believed to have been murdered was bundled up in a rug and tied with a cable.

Ampang Jaya District police chief ACP Noor Azmi Yusoff said members of the public discovered the body at 8.52 am when they spotted legs jutting out of the blue suitcase.
