THE body of a man clad in woman’s clothes found inside a water retention pond at Jalan Air Tawar, Air Panas in Setapak two days ago, has been identified as Kanan a/l Muthiah @ Suppiah.

The 42-year -old man with shoulder length hair was identified from his fingerprints as his personal documents were missing. Sentul district police chief ACP Zakaria Pagan said Kanan’s last known  address was 282-B, Batu 21/2, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur.

When police conducted a check at the house, it was occupied by a family that does not know anything about Kanan.

“We are urging his family members or friends to come forward to facilitate police investigations into Kanan’s
murder. So far nobody has come forward with any information,” Zakaria said.

Those who have information about Kanan or the murder can contact ASP Aziz of the Sentul district police headquarters on 03-2610 2222 or 019-9280024.

On Monday evening, Kanan’s body — clad in a blue T-shirt and a purple dress — was found floating by an angler who went fishing at the pond.

Police believe he was murdered elsewhere and dumped into the pond.
