Following the heavy rainfall and floods in Malaysia’s east coast, the number of casualties in the affected states have risen.
Just this morning (Dec 19, 2022), 3 sisters are believed to have died from electrocution in their flooded house in Kampung Bendang Surau, near Morak, Kelantan.
In the incident that took place at 11.45am, all female victims aged between 20 and 27 years old are believed to have died at the scene of the incident.
It is understood that one of the victims was electrocuted after grabbing onto a pole in the house. This led to her coming into contact with her 2 sisters, causing them to be electrocuted too.
According to Sinar Harian, the victims were found afloat in their house by the authorities.
A member of the victim’s family, Mohd Amin Mohd Nazir, 25, when met, confirmed the incident.
May the victims rest in peace. Our sincere condolences to the victim’s family.
