According to a report by China Press, the arrested individuals were Yap’s boyfriend, his brother and father.
This was also confirmed to the Chinese daily by Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan via a phone interview.
When asked to comment concerning the arrests, Yap’s uncle declined, adding that the family does not want to speculate excessively and will wait police to conclude their investigation.
Summary of events
Today, it was reported that police discovered a highly decomposed body believed to be Yap’s in Banting. However, they are currently waiting for a DNA test to confirm her identity.
She first went missing on Dec 19 after informing her family that she was heading to a lion dance training session at a club located near Batu 11, Cheras but never returned home, sparking a frantic search for her.
According to Yap’s lion dance coach, she met a 16-year-old ex-trainee two months ago before pursuing a romantic relationship with him.
Before Yap’s disappearance, CCTV footage near her boyfriend’s residence showed her taking an e-hailing ride to his house on the morning of the day she went missing.
However, her boyfriend claimed that after having a meal together with Yap, they had an argument before Yap left the scene.
