BESUT: A partially decomposed body of a man, believed to be a foreigner, was caught in a trawling net by fishermen about 16.5 nautical miles off Tok Bali in Pasir Putih, Kelantan on Monday afternoon.
A police source said parts of the naked body had been eaten by fish, including the head and stomach, when fishermen reported the gory find at the Besut police station after landing their catch at the Tok Bali port in Kelantan.
The fishermen alerted a search and rescue team in Besut who were also looking for an angler who was reported missing last Thursday.
The body was sent to the Tengku Anis Hospital in Kota Baru for a post-mortem.
