DNA test to be done on Kevin Morais’ remains
A DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) test will be conducted at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital this morning on the body found in a concrete-filled drum, said Richard Morais.
Richard, the younger brother of Attorney-General’s Chambers Appellate and Trial Division deputy head Anthony Kevin Morais, said the test would be carried out to help identify the remains.
“Although police have confirmed the body as my brother’s, the process of verification will still be conducted by taking a DNA sample from a family member,” said Richard, a businessman, when contacted by Bernama yesterday.
Kevin Morais’ body was found in the concrete-filled drum in Subang Jaya near Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday after one of the seven suspects brought police to the location in a housing area in USJ 1 at Persiaran Subang Mewah.
Kevin Morais, 55, was reported missing on Sept 4 after last seen leaving his apartment at Menara Duta, Kuala Lumpur for his office in Putrajaya in a Proton Perdana with registration number WA6264Q.
