Missing girl found dead in river

IPOH: The body of a half-naked girl who has been missing since Thursday was found floating in the Kampar river in Gopeng.
Two river guides, who were on a kayaking trip in Kampung Jahang, found the 12-year-old girl's body on a rock at noon yesterday.
Police later found a bicycle belonging to the girl in Gopeng town.
Chia Kha Man, a Year Six pupil of SJK (C) Man Ming in Gopeng, some 25km from here, was reported missing by her grandfather last Friday.
Kampar OCPD Supt Nordin Manan said the case had been classified as sudden death pending a post-mortem report.

It seem the police has classified the case as sudden death but the Chin family is trying to appeal to the police to investigate the case to find the person(s) responsible. Just based on the fact that the bicycle is left in town 'pasar' but body found on a hill stream bank some more than 5 KM away is not something of an ordinary occurance. Furthermore the body was found half naked! It would be questionable that this girl would have gone swimming by walking more than 5 KM up-hill. Surely someone would have given her a ride.


Will update when more information is available...
