KANGAR, Aug 5 — Police have confirmed that skeletal remains found inside a gunny sack in an orchard opposite a factory here last month were human.

“The remains have been confirmed to be human. At this stage, the case has been classified as a sudden death report, and investigations are ongoing,” he said in a statement yesterday. 

On July 26, police received a report from a man who discovered the gunny sack while spraying weedkiller in his orchard. — Bernama
