Granddaughter wants British officer killed in WW2 reburied in Heroes Grave

KUCHING: The descendents of Desmond Vernon Murphy, a British officer killed in the infamous Long Nawang massacre during the Second World War, want his remains to be exhumed and brought back to the state.

Murphy and 40 others were killed by the Japanese in September 1942 in the tiny Dutch government outpost in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
