HULU SELANGOR: Police are looking for more evidence in the murder case of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah in a second location.

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said police was investigating a location in Perak, about 20 minutes from the main location in the case in Kampung Sri Keledang, Hulu Bernam.

"We are looking for her personal belongings that could be evidence in the case.

"Police have found a smartphone that is believed to have belonged to the victim," he said at a press conference.

The smartphone was found in a ditch by the Selangor police sub-aquatic forensic unit at 12.21pm today after an hour of diving.

Police brought a 26-year-old suspect to the scene of the search to identify Nur Farah Kartini's smartphone.
