According to Berita Harian, Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Zani Che Din said four cars – Perodua Myvi, Honda HR-V, Volkswagen Golf, and Toyota Camry – were also taken away to assist investigations.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, and Edward's body has been delivered to the University Malaya Medical Centre for a post-mortem.
