The 31-year-old, he died on the spot when the Toyota Hilux he was travelling in skidded and crashed into a bus stop at Km15 of Jalan Jemaluang-Mersing around 6.34pm, last Friday.

Police who had initially classified the cause of death as due to drowning, subsequently changed it to murder after discovering suspicious wounds on her body.
He came under the spotlight again recently when he was charged with drug related offences in Selangor.
