KUANTAN (Bernama): A DNA test carried out on bone specimens found at the site of a fire in Sungai Lembing on Aug 31 confirmed them to belong to an elderly woman.
Pahang police chief Datuk Abd Jalil Hassan said the result obtained from the Chemistry Department in Petaling Jaya Friday confirmed the remains to be those of Chow Kim Mui, 70, based on 99% probability of a match with her 30-year-old son Ho Chai Fei's DNA.
"However, the Fire and Rescue Department recently handed over bone fragments that they found on Sept 2 while clearing up the area around the victim's home, and we will send these for DNA testing," he told Bernama here Saturday . It is understood that the bone fragments are still being analysed by an orthopaedic specialist at Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital here before being sent to the Chemistry Department.
