‘Don't speculate', police caution as probe continues on body found in Bangsar lift shaft

KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — Brickfields District Police Chief ACP Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood confirmed that the last known location of the United Kingdom (UK) national, who was reported missing since May 27, was in Bangsar here. Following the missing person report filed by Jordan Michael John Johnson-Doyle's father at the Brickfields District Police Headquarters on June 2, Ku Mashariman said police have conducted a large-scale operation around the area. 'At 4pm today, we also conducted an operation with 30 personnel deployed to a construction site in Lorong Maarof, and at 5pm, a body was found. However, I want to emphasise that we have not yet been able to identify the body as the process (of identification) will take some time. 'The location where the body was found was quite secluded and in an area that was difficult to access. So, I urge all parties not to speculate whether it is related to the reported missing person or otherwise,' he told reporters when met at the scene today. A Bernama check at the scene found police teams from the Brickfields District Police Headquarters and Kuala Lumpur Police, as well as firefighters from the Pantai Fire and Rescue Station (BBP), at the location. The body, believed to be that of a foreign man, was found face down with his clothes almost off, in a lift shaft on the ground floor of the construction site. Ku Mashariman said the case has been classified as sudden death (SDR), while the cause of death is still under investigation. The body was brought out at around 9.30pm tonight and sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM) for post-mortem and identification purposes. — Bernama

[UPDATED] Police: Tracing movements of missing Briton led to Bangsar body discovery

KUALA LUMPUR: A police search for a missing Briton at a partially under construction condominium along Lorong Maarof in Bangsar led to the discovery of decomposed body there. 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. "As the body was found in a rather isolated area which was partially submerged, it will take some time and effort before members of the Fire and Rescue Department can remove it and hand it over to us for further action. "We will not be taking DNA samples from the body at the scene. All efforts to either identify the body physically or through DNA analysis will be conducted at UMMC," he said, urging the public to refrain from speculating on the case until they had identified the body. Asked if there was a possibility that the deceased individual whose body was found here had fallen into the elevator shaft, he said that possibility and all other angles would be investigated thoroughly by the police. Staff at the Bangsar bar where Johnson-Doyle was last seen confirmed he had attended a quiz night the evening he disappeared. One employee said the 25-year-old was present but could not confirm what happened next or who he was with. Another employee said he could not clearly recall seeing him and only learned about the case via media. Ku Mashariman had told the New Straits Times that officers had visited several locations in Bangsar believed to have been frequented by Johnson-Doyle. Statements were recorded from two individuals at those locations. Checks by the NST at several nearby residential flats — where Johnson-Doyle's mother, Leanne Burnett, claimed to have last tracked him — found no residents matching his description. Police had earlier issued a public appeal following Johnson-Doyle's disappearance, after he was last heard from on May 27. Speaking to the UK's Daily Mail, Burnett said she felt "numb" and "just wants to bring him home." His last known location was Healy Mac's Irish Bar in Bangsar around 8pm, where he had sent a photo of the pub's quiz night poster to his best friend, Owen. Johnson-Doyle, a software engineer, had been backpacking across the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia for over a year, working remotely for an American tech company. He arrived in Malaysia on May 17 after visiting Vietnam and is believed to have been staying at the Robertson Residences in Bukit Bintang. Burnett last spoke to her son on May 26. Those with information on the case should contact the police hotline at 03-2115 9999 or go to the nearest police station.
