A Malaysian woman was killed when strong winds during a storm blew off the roof of a nearby school, which then landed on her house and crushed her to death.

“Nearby residents helped to extract her body from a pile of debris. However, the victim was pronounced dead by a medical officer at the scene,” he told reporters.“Our family is still shocked and traumatised by what has happened. For the time being, we are staying at a relative’s place,” said Madam Mahadevi’s brother-in-law, Mr Tamil Selvam Periyasamy Bala.

“I tried to pull her out even though it was raining heavily at the time and the situation was challenging,” he told Malay daily Sinar Harian. “Other neighbours also came to help and we managed to pull her out.”
