A team of personnel from the Salak Selatan police station, Criminal Investigation Division officers from the Cheras Police Headquarters and forensics members from the Kuala Lumpur Contingent Headquarters, were immediately dispatched to the scene.

"Investigations at the location found the bodies of a local woman, 19 years old, in the front passenger seat and the body of a local man, 19 years old, in the rear passenger seat of the MPV," Idzam stated.

The victims were suspected to have been dead for four to five days before they were found.
