SHAH ALAM, July 10 — Police found bodies of two foreigners in their rented house in Banting, Kuala Langat yesterday.
Kuala Langat district police chief Superintendent Mohd Azizan Tukiman said the body of a man, believed to be an Indian national was found hanged in the house, while the body of a woman, believed to be an Indonesian, was found covered in blood on the mattress in one of the rooms of the house at Jalan Kampung Tali Air here.
“Both victims believed to be in their 40s, and their bodies were found at 5.20pm by the landlord before alerting the police. Our initial investigation found the woman suffered injuries on her forehead and cheeks, believed to be struck with an iron rod apart from strangulation marks on her neck.
“The iron rod was found next to the woman,” he said in a statement here today.
Azizan said both victims did not have any identification documents and further investigation found no Bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG) injection on their arms.
