Malaysian apartment buyer discovers dismembered corpse in refrigerator

A man found a rotting human corpse chopped into pieces in the refrigerator of his newly purchased apartment in an upscale Malaysian suburb.

The man made the discovery when he detected a stench Sunday while cleaning the apartment, which had been vacant for several months, said Ku Chin Wah, the police chief of criminal investigations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's biggest city.

"He found the human remains chopped into pieces", Ku said. "We believe it had been in there for some time."

Police arrested a woman believed to be linked to the murder, he added.

"We believe we have solved the case," Ku said. He declined to elaborate, saying investigations were ongoing.
