A Singaporean national was found dead hanging from a tree behind his house in Kampung Pulai Tengah, Jasin at 10am on Sunday.

The victim, Talib Jumaat, 52, was said to be from Singapore and had returned to his mother’s home to visit his wife.

During the incident, the victim’s mother had gone to the back of the house where she found her son hanging from a tree, 20 metres away from her house.

The victim in his T-shirt and shorts was found hanging with a rope around his neck.

It is believed that the cause of the incident was because the victim had failed to get money from his mother.

Police had found that the victim had died at the scene of the incident.

His body was later sent to the Jasin hospital for post-mortem.
