PETALING JAYA: The decomposed body found in Banting has been identified as that of missing teenager Yap Xin Yuan.

Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the identity was confirmed after a DNA test matched her with her mother.

"The three suspects detained, including the victim's boyfriend, have been remanded until Sunday (Jan 5), but we expect to extend it further," he said.

The motive behind the murder is still under investigation, he added.


It was reported that a decomposed body had been found in Banting, and police believe it is linked to the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl earlier this month.

Comm Hussein said the body was found on Sunday (Dec 28) and added that the victim's boyfriend has been arrested.

"It was found at RTB Sg Changgang (in a decomposed state), and physical verification was unable to be conducted. A post-mortem has been conducted at Hospital Banting,” said Comm Hussein.

"As of now, three suspects aged 16, 20, and 51 have been arrested and remanded until Sunday (Jan 5). This includes the victim’s boyfriend,” he added.

The case has now been classified as murder.

Yap Xin Yuan was reported missing on Dec 19 after lion dance practice at a basketball court in Batu 11 Cheras.
