Missing S'porean found in shallow grave in Selangor

A Singaporean who was reported missing by his wife, about six months ago, was finally located on Wednesday in a shallow grave at a rubber estate in Selangor, Malaysia.

Initial police investigations have indicated the 40-year-old man was murdered elsewhere and his body buried at the rubber estate in Kajang.

A 40-YEAR-OLD Malaysian suspect has been detained by Johor police, in connection with the decomposed body of a Singaporean found on Wednesday.

He is believed to be a close friend of the deceased.

The body, recovered from a rubber estate in Kajang, Selangor, has been sent to a town hospital for a post mortem, Johor police chief Datuk Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said.

The decomposed remains are believed to be that of businessman Nelson Quek, 58, who was kidnapped on January 26 in Stulang, Johor Bahru.

According to reports, a RM$1 million ransom (S$405,300) was sought. Family members lodged reports with authorities in both Singapore and Malaysia.

However, Mr Quek subsequently dropped off the radar, and no further news was heard from him or his kidnappers.

Malaysian police discovered the body following the arrest of a suspect involved in a separate murder. The man later led authorities to the forested area in Kajang where the body was found.

Kajang is over 300 kilometres from where Mr Quek was kidnapped in Johor Bahru – a five hour drive by car.
