SUNGAI BULOH, July 18 — The remains of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah will be handed over to her family today, said Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan.
The post-mortem process, including the DNA matching test carried out by the Chemistry Department, has been completed and confirmed the remains are Farah's.
Yesterday, he said the handover of the 25-year-old woman's remains to her family would depend on the DNA test results conducted by the Chemistry Department, which involved the victim's mother and siblings.
Meanwhile, Farah's brother Mohd Fariza Amir, 28, said the funeral prayers for his youngest sibling will be held at Masjid As-Syakirin in Kampung Tanjung Selangor in Pekan, Pahang.
“Her remains will then be laid to rest at Kampung Nyiur Manis Cemetery in Pekan. More details will be shared later,” he said.
Earlier, a check at the Sungai Buloh Hospital's Forensic Department found that Farah's family arrived in the area at 11.10am.
She had been reported missing since July 10 after delivering a rental car to a customer. Her body was discovered in an oil palm plantation in Kampung Sri Kledang, Hulu Selangor, around 6pm on Monday (July 15).
Subsequently, a 26-year-old man, also a policeman stationed in Perak, was arrested and remanded for seven days until Monday (July 22) to assist in the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
