MIRI: It was an expedition that went horribly wrong for five Lawas locals when they found themselves trapped in a 20m-deep tunnel filled with harmful gas, leaving two dead.

The tragedy occurred around 11am yesterday on a hill overlooking Kampung Mengkalap and Kampung Lintang Baru, at the Trusan sub-district near the Sarawak-Brunei border.
