SHAH ALAM: Police have not determined whether the death of singer Nidza Afham Mokhtar, whose body was found on the Sungai Klang riverbank yesterday, was the result of a criminal act, says Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.
He said police would rely on the post-mortem results to guide their investigations since no witnesses have come forward with information regarding the incident.

We are waiting for the post-mortem results. From there, we can determine the cause of death and take further action,

Yesterday, the body of the 23-year-old singer and YouTuber was found under a bridge in Klang at around 7.30pm after he was reported missing a day earlier while jogging alone at Sultan Suleiman Stadium in Klang.
Nidza’s younger sister, Afrina Hanie, claimed that her brother’s disappearance was related to a robbery, as his debit card and cash were missing, while his identity card, student card and photos kept in his wallet were untouched when his body was found.
