Meanwhile, commenting on a decomposing body found by fishermen at an illegal jetty near Bukit Bunga in Tanah Merah at 3 pm yesterday, Muhamad Zaki said the victim's identity is still unknown.

"An autopsy showed four gunshot wounds to the victim's head fired from close range. Kelantan police will contact the authorities of the neighbouring country to trace any incident linked to the corpse," he said.
