MELAKA: A planned Hari Raya Aidilfitri visit to a neighbour's apartment in Krubong turned grim when a foul odour led to the discovery of the man's body on Monday (March 23). Suffian Abdul Majid, 52, said he intended to pay his neighbour a visit later in the day. “When I stood in front of the unit, the smell was indeed very strong and flies were coming out from under the door." "The authorities later told us that my neighbour is believed to have died four days earlier, based on the decomposition of his body," he added. "The team forced open the door of the unit and recovered the victim's body, which was handed over to the police," he said.
