'I thought she was alone,' says sister of fish pond electrocution victim
BESUT: Wan Affida Malina Wan Awang rushed to a fish farm pond in Pantai Air Tawar here after being told that her sister, Wan Adilah, had become unconscious, believed to have suffered an electric shock.
BESUT police reported that a 51-year-old fish farm worker, Wan Adilah, and a 27-year-old university student, Rubayyi Razak, both died after suffering electric shocks at a fish pond in Pantai Air Tawar. Wan Affida Malina, Wan Adilah's sister, was initially under the impression that her sister was the only victim. Rubayyi, who was undergoing industrial training at the pond, was also found involved in the incident.
Affida Malina was 20 metres away from the pond when she discovered both bodies and refrained from approaching them due to the possible presence of ongoing electrical current. She recounted that her sister was a dedicated and capable manager, having overseen the fish farm since 2019. Affida Malina further disclosed that her sister was a devoted sibling, managing the family's affairs when present and entrusting her two children with farm responsibilities when they were on breaks.
