JERLUN — The widow of a man killed during a fight yesterday described the harrowing moment when she found his body.

Sinar Harian reported that Marliana Awang, 39, had gone looking for her husband when he hadn’t returned from bringing in their goat.

“I’d told him that our goat hadn’t returned yet, and it was now almost 7pm,” she said.

Her husband then went out to retrieve the goat but when he hadn’t returned she grew worried.

Marliana then heard from nearby villagers that a fight had broken out near her own mother’s house, which made her feel uneasy as she went out to look for her husband.

She said when she found his headless body she screamed for help, then cradled his corpse as she massaged his chest.

Her husband, Nasir Md Nanyan, 45, was found with his head severed, after a fight with his brother-in-law.

The police confirmed that they had received a call around 7.05pm about a fight at Kampung Pida 3.

Nasir’s body was found with his severed head about a metre from his body with slash wounds also found on the rest of his body.

A suspect was arrested at 8pm, who was brandishing a 30cm machete, which has now been seized as part of the investigations.
