PETALING JAYA: The lack of inoculation marks on
the body of the girl stuffed inside a sports bag in Petaling Utama
indicates that the child could be a foreigner. Police are now
looking into the angle that the girl and her parents could be
illegal immigrants, since no one has come forward to claim the
body.
A paediatrician who declined to be named
said all Malaysian babies are given the BCG vaccine after birth.
The absence of the BCG scar on the dead girl could mean that her
parents are illegal immigrants. On Monday, an employee found
the bag at the bottom of the staircase of a shoplot in PJS1/48 and
brought it into her workplace, thinking that it belonged to her
boss. Her boss later opened the bag and found the naked body of a
girl in a foetal position. Police found bruise marks on her
neck, suggesting strangulation, and a brinjal and
a cucumber inserted in her private parts.
“There is no missing person report that fits the
girl’s description,” said Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi
Mohamed yesterday. The bag was left at the place as early as 2pm on
Sunday because there was CCTV footage of a woman in jeans and a red
top walking about in the area at that time and the bag could be
seen then. The woman, estimated to be in her 20s, later entered a
Silver Kenari. ACP Arjunaidi appealed to the woman in the video, or
people who know her, to contact the police.
In the brand new sports bag which was sent to the
police forensic unit for fingerprinting, investigators found
strands of hair that did not belong to the girl. The dead girl,
believed to be between six and nine years old, weighed about 18kg
and was about 150cm in height. There was a birthmark on her left
thigh.
Police are also checking whether the murder was
linked to two cases in the past three months, where two girls aged
five and six were abducted and molested in the Kampung Baru area in
separate incidents. Meanwhile, police have taken blood samples for
DNA tests from the parents of eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin,
who has been missing since Aug 20 in the Wangsa Maju area.
Nurin’s parents were called to view the girl’s
body on Monday but they confirmed that the dead girl was not their
daughter.
It was reported that Nurin was seen putting up a
resistance as she was being pulled into a van near a night market
in Wangsa Maju on the night she disappeared.
