Human arm found in rubbish bin

December 2, 2014

Cops unsure if the body part is linked to the discovery of a human head and torso found earlier.

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Yet, another human body part has been found. This time, a left arm was found in a plastic bag near a rubbish bin in Machang Bubok here Monday.

A passer-by made the gruesome discovery about 4.30pm, and alerted the police.

Seberang Perai Tengah acting police chief Supt Baharom Abu said a police team found the arm protruding from a plastic bag.

We believe it could be due to an animal, such as a dog, messing up the bag while looking for food.

Based on the condition of the arm, it must have been dumped in the area for more than three days.

Nevertheless, we are unsure if it is linked to the discovery of a human head and torso which were found earlier, he said when contacted here Monday.

He said the arm had been sent to the Seberang Jaya Hospital for post-mortem.
