A 56-YEAR-OLD man has been found electrocuted at his farm in Kampung Star Baru, Gua Musang. He is believed to have connected his household electricity supply to a fence around the farm to prevent animals from entering.

Mokhtar Mat Nor was found dead by his neighbour at about 8am today, said district police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo.

He said preliminary investigations revealed that the victim died three days ago after his leg was caught in a coil of wire, which was connected to his house from the fence around the farm.

The power supply had to be disconnected before the body could be removed from the spot, he said when contacted.

He said the body of the victim was sent to the Gua Musang Hospital for a post-mortem. – Bernama, June 13, 2021.
