SIBU: A post-mortem on the body of a man found dead with 16 bricks tied to his body at a private jetty on Jalan Lanang here will determine whether he was murdered or committed suicide, says Deputy Comm Datuk Dev Kumar M.M Sree Shunmugam.

The state Deputy Police Commissioner told a press conference in Kuching on Tuesday that the post-mortem will be done in two days' time at Sibu Hospital.

"The initial investigation revealed that there was no sign of injuries on the body and we will proceed with the post-mortem," he said.The body was found clad in short pants with eight bricks tied to the man's neck and another eight tied to his waist.Dev Kumar added that the police need to ascertain whether the deceased had killed himself or was the victim of a crime.

"The deceased might have either tied himself up to kill himself or there could be a criminal element. We can only classify it accordingly after the post-mortem," he said. Dev said that the police believe the deceased man is a foreigner as there were no Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine marks found on the body, adding that the police are also determining why bricks were tied to the body.
