Initial investigations revealed no incidents of paint splashing or threats directed at the victim. Kumarasan ISKANDAR PUTERI – The death of a female teacher, whose decomposing body was discovered at her home in Bandar Selesa Jaya on June 13, is believed to have no criminal elements or links to illegal money-lending syndicates. Iskandar Puteri district police chief Assistant Commissioner M Kumarasan, stated that the deceased, Lo Kwan Fong, 39, had previously borrowed RM20,000 from loan sharks but had settled the debt. According to him, initial investigations revealed no incidents of paint splashing or threats directed at the victim. "The deceased had filed a police report, which was investigated under Section 5(2) of the Moneylenders Act 1951. "However, after settling her debt, no further police reports were made. "Her neighbours reported that no loan sharks came to splash paint on her house. The deceased also did not lodge any police reports after her debts were cleared," he said. He made these remarks during a press conference at the Iskandar Puteri District Police Headquarters on Wednesday. According to Kumarasan, the body of Kwan Fong has yet to be claimed by her family. He clarified that police checks with the National Registration Department (JPN) confirmed that the deceased was an only child and that both her parents had passed away. "The police will consult the hospital again. After two weeks, the body will be handed over to Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) to appoint a private funeral company. "We were informed that the deceased has an aunt in Singapore, but so far, no information regarding this has been obtained. "According to neighbours, the deceased was a good teacher but not socially active in the community. "When found by the police, the victim's body was seated in the bathroom of her locked house,' he said. He also said that some parents of the deceased's students expressed willingness to assist with the funeral arrangements. On June 16, media reported that a female teacher was found dead in her home after neighbors noticed a foul smell from the house and filed a report at the Nusa Bestari Police Station at 8pm. Investigations revealed that the woman, who lived alone, was believed to have been dead for about a month. The woman was an only child and her parents had passed away several years ago. An autopsy conducted by a forensic specialist from HSA concluded that the cause of death could not be determined due to advanced decomposition.
