EXHUMATION AT MALACCA SEQUEL TO DEATH OF HOKKIEN

Police Suspicious Of Foul Play

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

Malacca, June 3.


Mystery surrounds the death which took place on May 29 of a 22-year-old Hokkien of Sungei Rambei, near Jasin.

Suspicion that the death was due to poisoning was later aroused, and inquiries by the authorities were started.

A sensation was created when the deceased’s remains, which had been interred four days, were exhumed from a Merlimau cemetery in the presence of the Coroner, the A.M.O., and the police from Jasin, at five o’clock yesterday.

There was an echo of the incident in the Jasin police court yesterday when a Sungei Rambei Chinese was produced before Mr. E. C. G. Barret on a charge of offering an illegal gratification of $30 to a Malacca detective. This detective, it appears, was investigating the death at Sungei Rambei.

1934年,双溪南眉有一名22岁的闽籍男子于5月29日死去,警方怀疑是被人下毒死的。此时死者已下葬在万里茂某座坟山,于是警方将死者掘出,以继续调查。可惜找不到其他报道(尤其是华文报),所以不知头尾。
