KOTA KINABALU, 6 Sept -- The body of a second victim in a Perodua Myvi that was swept away by strong currents last Friday has been found by the public on a riverbank near Kampung Damai, Inanam this evening.
Kota Kinabalu district police chief ACP Mohd Zaidi Abdullah said the body of Simon Sange Tupe, 68, was found a kilometre away from the incident location at Jalan Kionsom Lama, Inanam at 1.30 pm today.
