KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 (Bernama) — Police today clarified the reluctance
of the late Anthony Kevin Morais’s family to claim his remains as they
wanted to know the cause of his death beforehand.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Noor Rashid Ibrahim said
his family members wanted to get confirmation from the Kuala Lumpur
Hospital Forensic Medical Department on the matter.
“Actually the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test results have been obtained
a few days ago which confirmed the biological relationship between the
deceased and his family members,” he said in a statement here Friday.
The body of Morais,55,who was deputy chief of the Appellate and Trial
Division in the Attorney-General’s Chambers,was found in a drum filled
with concrete in Persiaran Subang Mewah,Subang Jaya near here on Sept 16.
He was reported missing on Sept 4 and was last seen leaving his condominium
in Menara Duta here to go to his office in Putrajaya in a Proton Perdana
bearing registration number WA6264Q.
