Meanwhile, Muhammad Syafiq's father, Afzanul Rizal Abd Rahman, 44, said he was informed that his son, the eldest of four, was on his way to a restaurant to meet his lecturer.
"They had just completed the final examination for the semester, so before they left for their long break, my son and his friend had planned to have dinner with their lecturer.
"He was a responsible son. He had expressed his intention to help me expand my electrical wiring business after he completed his studies,” he said when met at the TJHS Forensic Unit here today.
He said his son's remains will be buried at the Kampung Kubur Muslim Cemetery, in Pontian Johor.
