20-8-2024 (KUALA LUMPUR) The tranquil outskirts of Alor Setar became the centre of a gruesome discovery last night. Two female bodies were uncovered in a drainage ditch behind a derelict structure along the Sultan Abdul Halim Highway, sending ripples of concern through the local community.
The macabre find, which has prompted an immediate police investigation, has left residents and authorities grappling with unanswered questions. Initial reports suggest that the two women may have been related, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding mystery.
According to preliminary observations, the bodies were found in a particularly disturbing state. Both women were discovered lying supine in the drain, with one victim bearing signs of severe trauma. The nature and extent of these injuries have not been disclosed, pending a thorough forensic examination.
In response to the discovery, local law enforcement swiftly cordoned off the area and initiated standard protocols for handling such sensitive crime scenes. The bodies have been transferred to the forensics department at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, where post-mortem examinations will be conducted to determine the cause and time of death, as well as to gather crucial evidence that might shed light on the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.
