MARUDI, June 28: A 49-year-old Bugis man was found hanging inside an old factory here at about 10.30am yesterday by his nephew.
The building lies adjacent to an oil palm plantation.

“Prior to the discovery, the nephew was looking for firewood near the building (the old factory building) when he spotted ‘something’ hanging inside the building.
