GURUN (Bernama): The bodies of two men digging for treasure at the foot of Mount Jerai have been found after they were buried under 15m of earth in a landslide on Sunday (March 22) afternoon.

Kedah Fire and Rescue Department senior assistant commissioner Sayani Saidon said the body of Roslan Saidin, 52, was spotted at 10.49am and recovered at 11.36am on Monday .

She said even though the two victims were found one to two metres apart, it took a while to excavate as the second body was buried deeper. "Two excavators were used in this operation and before digging to find the victims, we have to stabilise the soil structure first," Sayani said. Meanwhile, Kuala Muda district police chief Assistant Commissioner Adzli Abu Shah said the issue was serious and advised the public not to be fooled by the rumours.
