Police: Tracing movements of missing Briton led to Bangsar body discovery
Brickfields police chief Assistant Commissioner Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood confirmed that police had traced the movements of the missing man — Jordan Johnson-Doyle — to the condominium about 4pm today.
"We then launched a search of the entire building with a team comprising at least 30 policemen.
"At around 5pm, a body was discovered in a partially submerged elevator shaft in a part of the building that was still under construction," he told reporters at the scene today.
He said, however, it was too early to determine the identity of the body.
Ku Mashariman said further action would be taken at the University Malaya Medical Centre pathology unit to identify the body as well as the cause of death.

A British man accused of driving his car into crowds celebrating Liverpool's Premier League title win now faces 24 additional criminal charges. Former British Marine Paul Doyle, 53, appeared via videolink at Liverpool Crown Court as the new charges were revealed. Prosecutors confirmed the total charges now stand at 31, involving 29 victims aged between six months and 77 years.

Doyle, a father-of-three from Croxteth, was initially charged with seven offences, including dangerous driving and grievous bodily harm with intent. The new charges include 19 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and three of wounding with intent. Doyle, wearing a grey T-shirt, did not enter any pleas during the 20-minute hearing attended by victims' relatives and media.
