The Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) today continued their search for evidence in the murder of Nur Farah Kartini at a tapioca farm in Kampung Klan Halt, Slim River, Perak.

Hulu Selangor deputy police chief Mohd Asri Mohd Yunus said the suspect was believed to have managed the tapioca farm part-time.

“A team of police officers from the RMP Forensic Unit, together with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Hulu Selangor district police headquarters, visited the farm today to conduct further investigations,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.

He said the team also inspected the red Toyota Vios car seized during the arrest of the suspect, a 26-year-old police lance corporal last Monday.

Mohd Asri added that the police are also analysing the SIM card belonging to the officer to uncover new evidence in the murder of the former Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (Upsi) student.

He also said the search for evidence at Sungai Trolak in Kampung Batu 4 by the RMP Sub Aquatic Forensic Investigation Unit could not proceed due to weather conditions and strong river currents.

The body of Nur Farah was discovered in a palm oil plantation near Kampung Sri Kledang, Hulu Selangor, around 6pm last Monday.

She was reported missing on July 10.

A 26-year-old police officer stationed in Perak is being remanded until July 22 to assist with investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

Nur Farah’s remains were laid to rest at the Kampung Nyiur Manis Cemetery in Pekan, Pahang, last Thursday.
