PETALING
JAYA: Selangor police have said that DNA tests on the body
found stuffed in a sports bag on Monday in Petaling Jaya show that
it is that of missing girl Nurin Jazlin Jazimin.
However, the police proposed a second DNA test be conducted to
confirm this after eight-year-old Nurin's parents refused to accept
the positive DNA results released here on Thursday.
Selangor police chief deputy commissioner
Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said the DNA results released by the
Forensics Department at about 2pm on Thursday showed a match
between the DNA of both of Nurin's parents and that of the
body.
Nurin had been missing since Aug 20. On Monday, police found the
body of a girl stuffed in a sports bag in a shophouse at Jalan
PJS1, Petaling Jaya.
At Hospital Kuala Lumpur on Thursday afternoon, Nurin's father
Jazimin Abdul Jalil, 33, a taxi driver still denied the body was
that of his daughter, reports BERNAMA.
"I am Nurin's father ... I
know my daughter better than anyone else. My heart is saying the
body is not my daughter.
"If police ask me to take
the body, I will accept, I will perform the funeral rites and bury
it. But I want the police to pursue the search for Nurin because I
know Nurin is still safe out there," he said, speaking to reporters
outside the HKL mortuary.
Jazimin added that he was sure the body was not Nurin because of
the teeth and the scar that Nurin had.
According to Jazimin, Nurin's teeth did not have gaps between
them and she also had a scar on her thigh.
Nurin's mother Norazian Bistaman, 35, said: "What else can I
say. The DNA test shows she is my daughter. I will accept the will
of God.
"As a mother, I still hope
the body is not my daughter's. Which mother will accept the reality
that her daughter was raped and killed brutally.
"Only God knows the extent
of my sadness and grief," she said in tears.
Norazian said this year's Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations
would be the most joyous and meaningful in her life in the event
Nurin was found safe and sound.
"In fact, we've already
bought Nurin's Hari Raya dress and I will patiently wait for her
return," she added.
