THE body of Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim was flown by helicopter from Subang airport for his hometown in Kedah at 7.30am today.

A post-mortem on  Abid was done early today at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, Kuala Lumpur, said Selangor Fire and Rescue Department deputy director Hassan ‘As’ari Omar.

In Kedah, the last alarm ceremony would also be held for Adib.

The 24-year-old firefighter died at 9.41pm at the National Heart Institute (IJN) yesterday after he was allegedly beaten up by several people during the riots near the Sri Maha Mariamman temple in USJ25, Subang Jaya, on November 27.

He was part of operations to put out a fire in front of the temple.

Selangor deputy police chief Ab Rashid Ab Wahab said Adib’s case, which was initially being investigated as attempted murder, would be reclassified and investigated as murder. – Bernama, December 18, 2018.
