Missing girl found dead in river

IPOH: The body of a half-naked girl who has been missing since Thursday was found floating in the Kampar river in Gopeng.
Two river guides, who were on a kayaking trip in Kampung Jahang, found the 12-year-old girl's body on a rock at noon yesterday.
Police later found a bicycle belonging to the girl in Gopeng town.
Chia Kha Man, a Year Six pupil of SJK (C) Man Ming in Gopeng, some 25km from here, was reported missing by her grandfather last Friday.
Kampar OCPD Supt Nordin Manan said the case had been classified as sudden death pending a post-mortem report.

It seem the police has classified the case as sudden death but the Chin family is trying to appeal to the police to investigate the case to find the person(s) responsible. Just based on the fact that the bicycle is left in town 'pasar' but body found on a hill stream bank some more than 5 KM away is not something of an ordinary occurance. Furthermore the body was found half naked! It would be questionable that this girl would have gone swimming by walking more than 5 KM up-hill. Surely someone would have given her a ride.


Will update when more information is available...

i don't know if i'm more angry or more sad but how i feel is not important. what's important is to get to the bottom of kha man's end.

i hope the cops are up to the task and don't try to sweep anything under their dirty carpet. it gets dirtier by the day, and it stinks too.

with their dismal showing in trying to find nurin's killer/killlers, i have little confidence in the police in gopeng being able to get those responsible for kha man's death, if foul play was indeed involved.

i agree with blogger Tembam (who came to my blog) that the least the police must first ensure that kha man's privacy in death be guarded and respected. in nurin's case, we failed to even do that.

my condolences to kha man's family. god bless her soul.

Comment on Tembam's blog:
I am so sad 2 more children dead and my heart bleeds for both children and parents. I used to leave my 3 kids at home when I go to work at my nearby office, I dont think I can do that now. It’s not safe everywhere, not even our own home. Seems like we have to guard our children 24/7. I agree with you that this could be a copy cat murderer. When the Police fail to find Nurin, and failed to capture her murderer/s, they failed BIG TIME. All the wrong messages sent out to would be paedophiles and killers, that they can do anything they want and GET AWAY WITH IT. Its proven with Nurin’s case-murder unsolved!

From the website www.projectsafechildhood.gov, President George W.Bush make a strong statement as follows:

“Our nation has made this commitment: Anyone who targets a child for harm will be a primary target of law enforcement. That’s our commitment. Anyone who takes the life or innocence of a child will be punished to the full extent of the law.” President George W. Bush, October 23, 2002

“We cannot, and we will not, tolerate those who seek to abuse or exploit our children.” Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, April 20, 2006

Malaysia has evolved tremendously in the past 50 years and I share the same sentiments with you as to our previous and current leaders. Before we can move on to a be a greater country in 2020, let’s start with the basic first, SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN, SAFETY FOR US. It is shameful and appalling to read ACA investigation on our top gun for 27millions, shameful to us Malaysian and to the world. What is happening, the Government and Police who are responsible to protect its people are more interested in their personal gains and vested interests, is this why crime rates is at the highest? Killers roams freely in our society, parents living in fear and locking up their children.

Nurin, Kha Man and Presshena was unnecessary death, irrespective of parents fault or not. It seems now their deaths have come full circle, its no longer just one Nurin, but the 3 children respresenting our 3 major races. This shows that the killers are bolder and more daring, they seemed to be very confident that they will not be caught, and extremely SAD to say, this may well be the case.

If only we have this commitment from our PM as what Bush did, NurinAlert will be up and running immediately, rather than going the usual, slower pace.

How many more deaths before we get the killers, how many more deaths before our Government and Police realised that its people are suffering. So sad

I SUPPORT NURIN ALERT
