KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 ―The Kampung Kemensah, Hulu Kelang residents were unaware, the stench in the bushes near their homes since yesterday was the smell of the body of a boy, who went missing in Jinjang Utara on Thursday.
The boy’s body was found in the area around 12.30pm after a man, believed to have ties with the victim’s family, was arrested and led the police to the site.
A resident who only wished to be known as Amir, 21, said he came across the unpleasant smell near the bushes since yesterday.
“I always pass through that area because it is the main road for us. At first I thought it was the stench from a dead animal but I was wrong.
“Someone who was inhuman had dumped a body there,” he told Bernama when met at the scene, today.
Amir said he had rushed to the scene right after seeing several police vehicles entered the village around 12 pm.
“I saw policemen lifting the body of a child from a far distance, as we were not allowed to be near the crime scene,” he said.
Another resident, Naim, 24, said he did not trace the source of the stench, as usually the stench of dead animals was quite common in the area.
“It is normal, but this time we did not think there would be a body.
“This is heinous and unforgivable, I still cannot believe anyone would do such a thing,” he said.
The body of Noor Amila Edrus Norsham, 5, was found in a bushy area near a small river and a house located 50 meters from the area.
On Thursay, Noor Amila Edrus, was reported missing while on his way to a surau near his home and had yet to return home after Maghrib.
Kuala Lumpur Police Deputy Chief Datuk Abdul Hamid Mohd Ali when met by reporters at Kuala Lumpur Hospital confirmed that the body found was that of the missing boy Noor Amila Edrus. ― Bernama
