The remains of a 78-year-old woman were found in her home at Jalan Seneka, Taman Century Garden in Johor Bahru last Saturday (5th October) at 2.35pm. She is said to have been living alone until she passed away more than half a year ago.
According to Harian Metro, the owner of the house had asked the housing agent to discuss with the tenant (the deceased woman) about selling the house, but when the housing agent arrived at the home, he discovered that the woman’s body had disintegrated.
Only her skeleton was left lying on the floor and holding a pillow next to the bathroom. The housing agent immediately called the police, who identified the woman as Hooi Mee Mee.
