BALING – The remains of the three victims, including a pregnant woman, who were killed when their house was swept away by flood currents here two days ago, were buried at the Kg Charuk Bemban Dalam Cemetery here early today.

The bodies of the pregnant woman, Nurul Anis Abu Hassan, 23, along with her four-month-old foetus, her paralysed mother-in-law Salmah Mat Akib, 53, and brother-in-law Khairul Ikhwan Nor Azman, 14, were buried at about 5.30am after they were brought to Surau Al-Istiqamah for the funeral prayer, which was attended by about 200 people.

The bodies of three family members were found by the rescue team yesterday.

Salmah and her daughter-in-law were found embracing each other under a pile of logs about 100m from their house, which was washed away by the floods in Kg Iboi. Their bodies were found at about 9.30am.

The body of the third victim, Khairul Ikhwan Nor Azman, 14, who was Salmah’s son, was found at 11.55am not far from the location where the two other victims were found earlier. – Bernama, July 6, 2022
