THE family of the late Istiqomah Ahmad Rozi, 33, wants her killer to be brought to justice, Bernama reports.

Her father, Ahmad Rozi Latimin, 64, said the perpetrator must be punished for his  crime.

“Alhamdulillah, I am grateful that my daughter’s (Istiqomah) body was safely laid to rest in her hometown... after she had been missing for eight months,” he said at the Bandar Pasir Mas Muslim Cemetery last night.

Istiqomah’s husband, Mohd Yusof Mohktar, 35, expressed hope that justice would be served.

“I ask everyone to pray that my wife is placed among the righteous,” he said.

Istiqomah was buried last night in the Bandar Pasir Mas Muslim Cemetery.

On August 12, police confirmed that the dismembered body discovered in a drain along the Alor Gajah-Tampin trunk road near Kampung Rimau, Pulau Sebang, Alor Gajah, on December 31 was that of 33-year-old Istiqomah, a teacher who had been reported missing four days earlier.
