Tapper finds body in bush

SEREMBAN: A rubber tapper made a gruesome discovery yesterday when she found the body of a woman in a bush near rubber estate at Km7.5 Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah.

The woman, in her 50s, was with her teenage son working in the rubber estate when she stumbled upon body of the woman who was clad in bra and panties.

She informed several vegetable sellers doing business at the roadside, who called the police.

State CID chief Assistant Commissioner Huzir Mohamed said a team of police officers, including those from the forensic and canine units, went to the scene after being informed of the discovery about 9 am.

"We have yet to determine the identity of the woman. Our initial investigation show that the body is of a Malay woman, ages between 20 and 25," said Huzir, adding that there was a stab wound on the right side of her chest and bruises on her face.
