TANJUNG MALIM: A team from the federal police's Forensic Investigation Scuba Unit has arrived at Sungai Trolak Kampung Batu here to continue their search for evidence in the murder case of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah.
The five-member team arrived at 11.15am in two four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Checks at the scene found that the water conditions in Sungai Trolak were murky due to earlier rainfall. More than 10 members of the media had gathered at the scene since 9am.
Yesterday, a handbag believed to belong to Nur Farah Kartini was discovered near Kampung Batu, Perak, close to Sungai Trolak.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed the discovery when contacted.
The media reported that efforts to locate belongings and other evidence of the 25-year-old have shifted to another location about 20 minutes from Kampung Sri Keledang in Hulu Selangor, where her body was found in an oil palm plantation.
This move followed the discovery of a smartphone believed to have belonged to Nur Farah Kartini, found in a ditch within the plantation.
Nur Farah Kartini's body was discovered around 6pm on Monday, several days after she was reported missing on July 12.
Earlier in the day, a police lance corporal stationed in Perak, who was detained, had led investigators to the body.
The suspect is currently under a seven-day remand order until July 22.
