The evil that men do

The body of a woman was found dumped and torched in a bush by the roadside near Taman Desa Aman, here last night, police said.

State CID chief ACP Zakaria Ahmad said policemen, acting on a tip-off, went to the scene and found the body, which was wrapped in fabric, was burning.

The woman is believed to have been murdered elsewhere and her body dumped and torched there in an attempt to dispose of evidence.

Police are determining the identity of the victim. The body has been sent to Kulim Hospital for a post-mortem. -- Bernama
