The decomposed body of a man was found yesterday (7 September) in an overgrown area near Jalan Persiaran Balairong U8 in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam on Monday (7 Sep).

Shah Alam district police chief Assistant Commissioner Sarudin Samah said members of the public alerted police after coming across the scene around 2.45pm.
