Yesterday morning (16 October), two skeletons believed to be human remains were found on the rooftop of a building next to a bank in Jalan Kelab, Sitiawan.
The police were alerted about the discovery after a woman lodged a report at 10.20am. She found pieces of what resembled human bones in the area.
The skeletal finds led police to believe those were the remains of murder victims but the gender and identity were unknown.

They also found a Perak flag in tatters, several pieces of black cellophane tape, and pieces of cloth with colourful patterns.
The skeletal remains have been sent for autopsy at the forensic unit of Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital.
The case will be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
