JOHOR BAHRU - A mother and her teenage daughter were found dead in a luxury car at Bandar Baru Uda in Johor.
Johor Bahru Northern District police chief Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh stated that the 42-year-old woman and her 14-year-old daughter are believed to have been shopping nearby before stopping to take a break on Jan 23.
“Based on the last text messages found on the mother’s phone, we believe they were at the scene to rest after shopping in the area.
“We are still investigating the matter, but early findings suggest there was a petrol leakage in the car’s engine, which caused fumes to enter the air-conditioning system.
“So far, no criminal elements are involved,” he said, adding that their bodies have been sent to Hospital Sultanah Aminah for a postmortem.
He shared this information during a press conference at the Johor Bahru North police headquarters on Jan 24.
Mr Balveer added that the police received a report about the incident from a passer-by at around 10pm on Jan 23.
“According to witnesses at the scene, the car engine was still running when they were found,” he noted. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
