Tanjong Sepat murder-arson: Bodies to be released after DNA tests

KUALA LANGAT: The bodies of the elderly couple and their two grandsons who were allegedly stabbed before their bodies were set on fire at their home in Tanjung Sepat will not be claimed until the DNA tests on the remains are completed.
According to a spokesman from the Banting District Hospital, the postmortem is still ongoing and is expected to be completed soon.
"The remains of Chia Tee Nang, 73, and Lim Mai Shak, 68, could not be released even after the process (post-mortem) was completed.
"Although the bodies of the children can be released, we have to do a DNA test and it will take some time for the final results," he said.
Sources said relatives will claim all four remains at the same time once the DNA reports are done.
DNA samples of the couple will be taken and sent to the Chemistry Department in Kuala Lumpur for testing.
The parents of the two boys — three-year-old Chia Yuan Bin and nine-year-old Ryan Chia Zeng — arrived at the mortuary accompanied by a host of relatives.
Yuan Bin's and Ryan's fathers are the sons of Tee Nang.
The remains of Tee Nang, his wife Mai Shak, and their grandsons, were discovered in various parts of the burnt home following the fire.
The father of both boys and other relatives were distraught and seen weeping at the scene of the incident on Wednesday.
