Taxi driver found dead in rolled mattress

The body of a taxi driver was found in a rolled mattress under a pile of clothes in unit of the Danau Kota flats here yesterday.

A neighbour, who wanted to be known only as Liew, 55, said he often heard quarreling sounds coming from the house of the 58-year-old taxi driver, who lived with a woman, in her 30s, and a baby girl.
