Perak police chief Azizi Mat Aris said efforts are ongoing to locate the woman, who was the last tenant of the house, Harian Metro reported.

"The suspect has not yet been identified. We are actively pursuing leads on the Indonesian national who was believed to have lived in the house,"he was quoted as saying

"We have not yet confirmed whether she has left Malaysia or is still here. However, the police are working with other agencies, such as the immigration department, and utilising all available resources."
