KUALA TERENGGANU – The body of a man, who was feared to have drowned while swimming at Pantai Jambu Bongkok in Marang, was found floating in the sea yesterday.
Marang police chief Mohd Zain Mat Dris said the body of Wan Nashaifudin Wan Latif, 48, was recovered by a rescue team patrolling with jet skis about one kilometre from the beach.
“The rescue team brought the body to Pantai Rhu Kubur near Marang at 8pm, and the victim’s sibling confirmed Wan Nashaifudin’s identity.
“The remains have been sent to the forensics unit of Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital for further action.”
Wan Nashaifudin, a resident of the Pusat Jagaan Baitul Cakna Lelaki in Kuala Berang, had gone swimming with six friends – all of whom are fellow residents at the centre – on Friday.
Their outing, however, turned tragic when Wan Nashaifudin was swept away by the current. – Bernama, December 28, 2020
