Further police investigations found that the victim had a miscarriage in early April due to being beaten by the suspect, and the investigation at the cemetery led to the discovery of dried tissue suspected to be a fetus buried by the suspect and the victim.

According to Kedah Police Chief Datuk Adzli Abu Shah, the suspect, who has been married nine times previously and is unemployed, led authorities to a Muslim cemetery on April 30. There, he indicated the location where he had buried the dried tissue, suspected to be the fetus. This discovery followed the victim's report of being severely beaten by her husband, resulting in her miscarriage, broken ribs, and spinal injuries.
