GEORGE TOWN, Oct 29 — Penang police are waiting for the coroner’s court to fix an inquest date to look into the disappearance and death of Annapuranee Jenkins, 65.
He said police had completed the investigation papers on the case, which was classified as sudden death, in August this year. When asked why it took a year after Jenkins’ remains were found for the reports to complete, he said he is not the expert conducting the tests for the report so it is beyond his scope to reply.
“We had a forensics team from Bukit Aman, pathologist from Kuala Lumpur and we even brought in the K-9 unit to sweep the area during investigations,” he said.“We take each reported case seriously and I can say, due diligence was done fully for this case,” he said. Jenkins went missing on December 13 in 2017 and her husband lodged a police report on her disappearance on December 14 when she failed to return to their hotel in George Town.
The police received a call from a local on June 25 last year reporting the findings of what appeared to be human bones under a pile of clothes and a hotel key card.
