PETALING JAYA: The remains of nine of the victims killed in the plane crash in Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam, on Thursday (Aug 17) will be handed over to their next of kin on Sunday (Aug 20), says Datuk Hussein Omar Khan.

The Selangor CPO said that the remains would be handed over at the Forensic Department of the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) in Klang.
