REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KUALA LUMPUR -- The Malaysian Diraja Police (PDRM) has taken DNA samples from the families of two Indonesians who are suspected of being victims of mutilation in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia. Coordinator of the Protocol and Consular Function of the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Yusron B Ambary, made the statement in Kuala Lumpur on Monday regarding the report of Indonesian citizens suspected of being victims of mutilation.

"Until now, the PDRM is still working to identify the two bodies found on Jan 27, 2019, in Sungai Buloh. PDRM has taken DNA samples from Indonesian citizens who reported losing family members," he noted.

He stated that the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur continued to coordinate intensively with PDRM and had communicated with two families of Indonesian citizens who reported the loss of family members while in Malaysia.

"In collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, the PDRM has also submitted the fingerprint data of one of the victims which was found to match the fingerprint data record of one of the Indonesian citizens reported missing. Fingerprint data have been sent to Indonesia for the process of matching Indonesian citizen fingerprints, he remarked.

The Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, he added, will continue to work together with PDRM to handle this mutilation case.

"In the event that it is officially confirmed that the two victims are Indonesian citizens, the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur will provide the maximum protection needed to cover the handling of victims' bodies and legal follow-up in handling of the case," he explained.
