Murder of Nurin Jazlin

Nurin Jazlin Jazimin (1999 - 2000) was an eight-year old Malaysian girl who went missing on August 20, 2007 after going to a night market near her house in the Wangsa Maju. She was last seen being dragged into a white van, and the police are enhancing footage caught on cctv installed nearby.

On the morning of September 17, 2007, a gym bag was left in front of a shop lot in PJS 1/48. It contained an unidentified child’s naked body stuffed in a foetal position. Later DNA tests identified the body as Nurin Jazlin's, and it was discovered that she was brutally raped and murdered by an unknown assailant. Her death sparked outrage throughout the country and is considered to be "the country's most horrifying crime in years".[1]
