Six human skeletons, including five from a family believed to have died more than three months ago, were found in a burnt house in an oil palm plantation in Kangkar Pulai, Skudai, last month.

Johor police chief Ab Rahaman Arsad said the husband of one of the victims lodged a report at Iskandar Puteri district police headquarters on Jan 9, after finding the human skeletons while searching for his wife and children, who were reported missing.
