Dead man found in sewage tank with hands, feet bound
Police previously received reports about the deceased going missing, and several suspicious transactions involving his bank account.
In a case that has shocked the community, the body of a man in his 50s was found in a sewage tank at a house in Taman Seri Bistari, Nibong Tebal, Penang. The discovery was made after a neighbour alerted the police to a foul smell emanating from the property. Upon investigation, police confirmed the presence of a deceased male with his hands and feet tightly bound inside the tank. The body had been submerged for at least two days.
The police were alerted to the house after a neighbor reported a persistent unpleasant odor. After confirming the identity of the victim through a missing person's report filed by the victim's nephew, authorities discovered a series of suspicious financial transactions linked to the deceased. From the victim's bank account, RM30,000 was transferred to the owner of a grocery store in Sungai Bakap. The owner of the store was subsequently ordered to transfer these funds to a bank in Myanmar.
The police are currently investigating both the circumstances surrounding the man's death and the alleged financial irregularities.
