THE decomposing body of a woman has been found stuffed in a suitcase at an abandoned bus station in Malaysia.
A horrified passerby made the gruesome find in Kulai, a district in the southern state of Johor, on Wednesday.
The bag was mysteriously discovered by the man near a building belonging to the state electricity company Tenaga Nasional Berhad.
He alerted police to the chilling contents of the discarded suitcase that was crawling with maggots at around 1.50pm.
The remains were later sent to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Cops have now launched an investigation in the hopes of identifying the victim as her body is already severely decomposed.
Kulai district police chief Tok Beng Yeow estimated more than 50 per cent of the corpse has already decayed.
This significantly hampered the police's initial efforts to identify the woman, who they believe was more than 25-years-old.
A preliminary post-mortem report suggested she may have died around two weeks ago after sustaining a head injury.
The victim's official cause of death is still yet to be determined.
The district police chief said an investigation is ongoing as he appealed to local residents to come forward with information.
He urged anyone with information to go to the Kulai police headquarters or contact the investigating officer at 016-2850204.
A family horrifically found several bodies stuffed in suitcases they won in a Storage Wars-style auction last year in New Zealand.
The buyers only made the chilling find when they were excitedly searching through the contents on their driveway in August 2022.
It sparked fears a serial killer was on the loose as investigators scrambled to determine how many victims were inside the suitcases.

The body of a 12-year-old girl who had been hog-tied and had her throat slit was found in a suitcase in October last year in Paris.
The youngster, identified only as Lola, was discovered when her parents reported her missing after she failed to return from school.
