Rotting body of naked man found hanging from tree in oil palm plantation
IPOH: The naked, rotting body of a man was found hanging by a belt from a tree branch in an oil palm plantation at Felda Gunung Besout 2 in Trolak near here yesterday.
Muallim police chief Supt Mohd Hasni Mohd Nasir said the body's discovery was reported at 5.13 pm.
He said a passerby searching for cattle on the plantation was shocked upon seeing the body hanging from a tree branch, about 10 metres from the main road.
'An investigation of the scene found that the body without clothing was in an advanced state of decomposition with no identification visible.
'Police also found a woman's undergarment in a nearby ditch, a pair of size-40 blue slippers near the scene, and a 'thali', suspected to be a Hindu wedding necklace, around the neck of the deceased,' he said in a statement today.
Mohd Hasni said an autopsy carried out at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital confirmed that the body was that of an adult male and there was an object resembling a blue belt wrapped around the neck of the body, while the time of death was estimated to be at least several weeks or months ago.
'The autopsy concluded the cause of death as 'unascertained' (mummified remains). The doctor confirmed there were no other injuries on the body,' he said, adding that the case was classified as a sudden death report (SDR).
He said police are appealing to the public for anyone with missing family members, relatives, or acquaintances to come forward and assist in the investigation. They can contact the Trolak police station, acting Chief Sergeant Mohamad Rizal Sahiaren at 017-5603331, or Muallim police headquarters at 05-4528222.

India arrests two for harbouring Kashmir attackers
File Photo of arrest of a Kashmiri by Indian forces. SRINAGAR, (India): New Delhi's counter-terrorism agency said Sunday (June 22) it has arrested two men in India-administered Kashmir for allegedly harbouring Pakistani gunmen behind a deadly attack on civilians that sparked a days-long conflict between the two countries. India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) said the two suspects were from the Pahalgam area, where gunmen killed 26 people two months ago. "The two men had provided food, shelter and logistical support to the terrorists, who had... selectively killed the tourists on the basis of their religious identity," a statement by NIA said. The majority of those killed were Hindu men. The agency identified the two men as Parvaiz Ahmad Jothar and Bashir Ahmad Jothar, claiming the duo "have disclosed the identities of the three armed terrorists involved in the attack", and have confirmed they were Pakistani nationals affiliated to the proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group. New Delhi has accused Pakistan of backing the attack without making public any evidence, and Islamabad has denied the charge. The April 22 killings triggered a series of tit-for-tat diplomatic measures by the nuclear-armed countries and led to intense exchanges of missile, drone and artillery fire. The four-day conflict left more than 70 people dead on both sides. Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between the South Asian rivals -- claimed by both in full -- since their independence from British rule in 1947, and the neighbours have fought two wars over its control. Rebel groups, demanding the divided region's independence or merger with Pakistan, have waged an insurgency since 1989. - AFP
