TAMPIN, Jan 27 — The body of a man with his hands and feet bound was discovered in a house in Jalan Cenaga Baru, Kampung Repah, here, today.
Tampin police chief Supt Anuwal Ab Wahab said police received a call on the discovery of the 26-year-old’s body at 3.02pm, on a mattress in the room by the door with his hands and feet tied.
“At about 2.30pm, the victim’s wife with her mother and four-year-old son went to the house after the victim could not be contacted two days ago. The last time the victim’s wife sent a message via WhatsApp was at 3.36am today without a reply.

Anuwal said the victim was believed to have died more than 24 hours and the body was taken to the Forensic Unit of Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital, Seremban for post-mortem.
He said the case was being investigated for murder and further investigations are ongoing. — Bernama
