BANTING, March 6 — The police have seized six types of pills believed to be from Japan to assist in the investigation into the death of the wife of entrepreneur and social media influencer Abd Ridzuan Abdul Mutalib, better known as Ridzokumura.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the pills were seized from the victim's house in Subang Jaya and sent to the Health Ministry (MOH) for identification of their type and purpose.
"We must consult specialists to determine whether these are regular medications or something else. In addition, we will also seek the assistance of MOH pharmacists.
"We will also seek the assistance of the Japanese Embassy if required (to help identify the medicines taken by the victim),” he said.
Hussein was speaking to the press after Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail visited an illegal e-waste site in Teluk Panglima Garang today.
On whether the victim had ever been treated for depression, he said the matter is still being investigated and that the police have recorded statements from six individuals, including Ridzuan and his son.
The other four were hospital staff involved in the post-mortem and those present at the scene when the body was found.
"The case is still being investigated as a sudden death report, and we are looking into whether the victim had depression or other medical issues,” he said.
Previously, Subang Jaya police chief ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said the victim, in her 50s, was found dead, lying face down, by police officers who arrived after receiving a MERS 999 emergency call.
