The SAR operation resumed on Friday (June 7), 40 days after it was halted on April 28. It was assisted by sniffer dog Daisy from Bomba’s K9 Unit after the police found the victim’s motorcycle near the farm.

The remains were handed over to the police for further action.

On April 21, a missing person’s report was lodged after the man failed to return to the longhouse, having ventured out to collect bamboo shoots on the nearby farm in the morning.

He was last seen wearing a blue and green striped t-shirt, black trousers, and yellow boots.

The SAR operation involved various enforcement agencies including the police and the Civil Defence Force (APM), along with villagers. — DayakDaily
