A decomposed corpse was found stuck between rocks behind a shipyard in Rancha-Rancha in Labuan late evening yesterday.

Labuan deputy police chief Mohd Ibrahim Mohd Ghani said the corpse, whose identify cannot be determined, was believed to be floating at sea for three to four weeks.

“The corpse was found by a civilian behind the Asian Supply Base Sdn Bhd at 5.50pm yesterday who called the police. We cannot make any assumptions about this case as a thorough investigation is still ongoing,” he said today.

The initial examination on the corpse showed no signs of physical injuries, he said, adding that more clues would be obtained after the post-mortem at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kinabalu today or tomorrow.

He urged anyone with information on the case to contact the nearest police station.
