Skeletal remains found -a year after lorry plunged into ravine.

Keningau-Sabah.

The skeletal remains of a man was  discovered
on Saturday in a wrecked one -tonne lorry
which apparently plunged into a ravine along
Km16 Jalan Keningau-Kimanis here a year ago.

District Police Chief DSP Douglas Nyeying Taong
said police received a call alerting  them of the
discovery at about 3.55pm.

It was learnt that a group of villagers were
clearing some bushes on the land when one of
them saw the wrecked lorry in the ravine located
some 30 meters from the main road.

This prompted him to get closer to the wrecked
lorry to inspect , only to find the skeletal
remains of a human .The company name registered
on the lorry led police to a house in  Kg Masjid
when they were informed by a woman that her
son ,identified as 28 year-old Sharif Bin Marsuki
a Bugis ,had not returned home since January
last year,

It was learnt that the family did not lodge
a police report and only did so when the  discovery
was made on Saturday ,Douglas said ,they believe
the man might have lost control of the lorry causing
it to plunge into the ravine.

The case is investigated under Section41 of the
Road Transportation Act 1987.
