MELAKA, Jan 4 (Bernama) — A paralysed man was found dead in a fire which destroyed four houses in Jalan Temenggong, here early this morning.
The body of the victim, C Sivalingam, 43, who was a former attendant of Melaka Hospital was found charred on the bed near the stairs on the ground floor of his house at about 12.30am.
Jalan Kubu Fire and Rescue station head Yazid Mohd Tahir said the victim could not save himself as he was alone in the two-storey house.
