BATU PAHAT: Six bone fragments found near an abandoned rental house in Kampung Batu 7, Tongkang Pechah, two months ago, have been confirmed to belong to Bella or Mila Sharmila Samsusah.
The matter was confirmed by Bella's sister, Norhisham, 36, after their family received the forensic report from Hospital Sultan Ismail (HSI) last night.
The bones were discovered by a backhoe driver not far from where Bella's remains were found.
"Alhamdulillah, thank God. Today (Friday, March 29) I was informed that following the forensic test results on the bones, they indeed belong to my late sister.
"Once again, we have mixed feelings. We are filled with sorrow, sadness, disappointment, and anger all at once. When will the wounds in our hearts heal?" she said when contacted.
She said she would file a claim for the bones at HSI today, and they will be buried in Bella's grave at the Banang Jaya Islamic Cemetery here.
"In this blessed month, I appeal to everyone to pray for her.
"May Allah forgive all the sins of the deceased, accept her deeds, and elevate her status in the sight of Allah," she said.
She said her family hoped that the missing leg and spine fragments would be found as soon as possible.
"Let's reunite the limbs of the deceased and make them whole like others, and I always pray that justice for Bella would be upheld.
"Indeed, we all miss Bella... a longing that is deep and endless," she said.
Bella was reported missing on the night of December 14 last year, before her incomplete remains were found at an abandoned rental house 36 days after her disappearance.
The single mother of two is believed to have been murdered by her boyfriend, Mohammad Haikal Mahfuz, 24, who is currently being charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
The woman was killed before her body was dumped in the said abandoned rental house.
Upon discovery, several body parts were missing, including hands, legs, and a thigh.
