  "account": "Three police officers died after a steel beam was struck by live electric cable in a freak accident in Beaufort, Sabah, last night. The beam fell while being used to lift coconuts at Kampung Weston, leading to the officers losing balance and being electrocuted. Two other officers, who were nearby, attempted to help but also suffered electrocution before being confirmed dead. The victims were Chiu Teck Siong, 40; Mohamad Nur Hafiz Ibrahim, 29; and Muhammad Raimi Ismarubee, 26. Police spokesperson Jauteh Dikun stated that initial investigations showed the three officers were collecting coconuts when the incident occurred. He added that the police have launched an inquiry to determine the exact cause, while a post-mortem will be conducted before the bodies are handed over to the families. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed concern over the matter, emphasizing a thorough and swift investigation to identify the cause and take preventive measures to avoid similar incidents.",
