15-year-old Yap Xin Yuan went missing in Malaysia, and police discovered a decomposed body during their investigation. Her 16-year-old boyfriend confessed to the crime and detailed her final hours, claiming they consumed drinks laced with drugs. The case involved suspicious behavior, contradictory statements, and evidence from CCTV footage and ride-hailing records.
Police have discovered a decomposed body while investigating the disappearance of 15-year-old student Yap Xin Yuan. Authorities arrested her 16-year-old boyfriend as the prime suspect, along with two others aged 20 and 51. The identity of the remains, found at a garbage trap in Sungai Changgang, Banting, has not yet been confirmed, and forensic testing is currently underway.
The discovery of the body intensified the investigation, which took a significant turn with the arrest of Yap’s boyfriend following weeks of suspicious behaviour and contradictory statements. Before his arrest, the suspect had filed a police report on 23 December in what appeared to be an attempt to distance himself from the case while providing inconsistent accounts of their last meeting. Chinese media reported that the boyfriend has confessed to involvement in her death. It was said that he revealed disturbing details about the teenager’s final hours. According to the suspect’s confession, Yap’s death occurred after they both consumed beverages allegedly laced with drugs. In a state of panic, the boyfriend, with help from family members, disposed of her body, which was later found in the garbage trap. The case began on 19 December when the Form 3 student left home under the pretence of attending lion dance practice. CCTV footage revealed she arrived at her boyfriend’s residence at 8:45 AM, contradicting his initial claim that they met at 4 PM that day. Ride-hailing records confirmed she took only one trip that morning, disproving his story about her leaving his home at 5 PM. The couple had been secretly dating for over a year after meeting through a lion dance troupe where the boyfriend was a former member
