Brother-in-law of Port Klang assemblyman found hanged

KLANG: The brother-in-law of Port Klang assemblyman Zakaria Md Deros was found hanged in his home in Kampung Idaman here Wednesday morning.

It is learnt that the victim, Fathil Ahmad, 45, was alone at home at the time. His wife, Saodah Md Deros, had gone out to send their three younger children to school.

The couple's eldest son, Abdul Rahman, 21, who has just completed his studies, was also not at home at the time.

Saodah returned to the house at about 7.30am and felt something amiss when the victim failed to answer the door despite her constant knocking.

Going to the side of the house to look through one of the windows, Saodah saw the victim hanging in one of the rooms.

She then called her neighbours for help to break open the main door and went inside but the victim was already dead.

Zakaria, when met at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital morgue, said Fathil was a good man and often helped people including cooking during kenduris.

Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Md Yusuf confirmed the incident, saying that police were investigating the reason behind the death.

He said police did not suspect any foul play and have classified it as sudden death.
