TANJUNG MALIM (BERNAMA) – The search for evidence linked to the murder of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah, 25, has been suspended due to the murky water conditions at Sungai Trolak in Kampung Batu 4, Slim River, Malaysia following rain yesterday morning.
Hulu Selangor district police chief Superintendent Ahmad Faizal Tahrim confirmed the suspension, adding that the water level of the river at the location had risen by over one metre.
“After taking the situation and river structure with wooden debris and uncertain water levels under consideration, it isn’t safe for the dive team to carry on the search,” he said when contacted yesterday, adding that operations will continue according to current needs and situation.
Checks by Bernama revealed two four-wheel-drive vehicles carrying 10 personnel from the police sub aquatic forensics investigation unit arrived at the location at 11.10am and after an hour of observation, the team found that the river was murky with fast flowing waters.
Sungai Trolak is around 20 minutes away from the oil palm plantation near Kampung Sri Kledang, Hulu Selangor, the location of the police search previously, which yielded a mobile phone believed to belong to the murder victim, while her handbag was found when police searched the river.
