Police investigating after body of mother found on Queensland beach
Police are investigating a four-day window after the body of a mother was found on a beach in central Queensland.
KLANG, Sept 16 — The search and rescue operation for three missing anglers in Perak has intensified after a body was discovered in the waters off Bagan Sungai Belukang, believed to be one of them. Deputy police chief Supt Mohd Rahimi Zainol revealed the body was found wearing a life jacket and tied to a drum, having been taken to a hospital for identification.
The survivors include Mohd Shairazi Abdul Aziz, 43, Mohd Rizal Mohamad Sadali, 45, Muhd Hamiszar Punirain, 45, and boat skipper Zulfikalnain Awang, 47. The three missing anglers are Muhamad Ridzuan Ruhaizat, 37, Mohd Shahril Abd Rahman, 43, and Raja Mohd Rozi Raja Mohamad, 49. According to survivors, all victims had to tie themselves to drums due to extreme dehydration after their boat capsized.
They were able to hold hands and form a group of seven. Deputy police chief Mohd Zaini Abu Hassan joined Supt Mohd Rahimi to visit the victims' families at Sementa Jetty. Selangor Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency officer Lt Mohd Syafiq Sazali stated that the third day of the SAR operation focused on the waters along the Selangor-Perak border, based on updated SAR system simulations.
Last Monday, MMEA mobilized its assets at 3.40 am upon receiving information about the anglers' disappearance, with the SAR operation officially activated at 5 am. Four survivors were found safe in the waters off Sekinchan on the second day before being sent for further treatment at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital and Banting Hospital.
