JERTIH, Sep 14 - Police in Pantai Air Tawar, Terengganu reported the deaths of two women, aged 49 and 27, following an incident at a fish rearing pond. The victims, identified as Rubayyi Razali, a 27-year-old Universiti Teknologi MARA student, and Wan Adilah Wan Awang, a 49-year-old pond owner, were discovered unconscious at the pond around 1.40pm on September 13.
Medical authorities pronounced both women deceased on the spot. The case has been classified as sudden death and is currently under investigation to determine the exact cause. The 28-year-old husband of Rubayyi Razali, Wan Muhammad Naim, recounted finding his wife and the pond owner in a life-threatening condition at the pond while picking his wife up at 1pm.
Naim noted the presence of an electrical wire and flowing water near the pond, which he believes may have been the source of the electrocution.

The forensic examination of their bodies is ongoing at Besut Hospital's forensics unit.
