SEREMBAN: In a development in the case of three people found dead in a house here, police have discovered a note asking anyone who finds the remains to call a church and have the bodies claimed.
In the note, written in English, the full names and identity card numbers of the deceased were listed: a 61-year-old man, his 59-year-old wife, and their 29-year-old son.
The writer of the note also provided the contact number of the church, in the heart of the city.
It was reported earlier that Seremban OCPD Asst Comm Mohammad Hatta Che Din said a police team was sent to the house in Taman Bukit Kristal at about 5pm on Tuesday (July 1) after they received a report from a neighbour complaining of a stench.

ACP Hatta said a forensic examination found a cut on the right arm of the son, while the parents' bodies did not show any suspicious signs.
Police also found four knives with bloodstains and various types of medicines on a table in the living room.
He said police have classified the case as sudden death reports for now, pending the findings of a post-mortem at Hospital Rembau.
He urged anyone with information on the case to contact investigating officer Insp Adi Khusaini Saripudin at 012 770 7282 or the district police station hotline at 06 603 3222 to assist in investigations.
Earlier Wednesday (July 2) morning, police forensic and medical teams returned to the unit to look for clues.
They spent about two hours scouring the single-storey unit.
A car belonging to the family was also seen parked along the road.
Neighbours who spoke on condition of anonymity said the family had been renting the unit for about four years and kept to themselves.
