Trio crushed to death by brick wall in Penang storm


BUKIT MERTAJAM: Three Myanmar nationals were among four people killed during a storm in Penang which toppled walls, uprooted trees and blew off zinc sheets.

The foreigners, who were in their 20s and 30s, were crushed to death when a 12m-high brick wall they were building at a factory warehouse at Bukit Minyak Light Industrial Park here collapsed and fell on them.
