PETALING JAYA: A mourning father in Negri Sembilan was shocked to find out that his son, who authorities said had died while in custody at the Sungai Buloh Prison last Tuesday (Feb 28), is still alive and breathing.

The father, who only wanted to be identified as Chantren, told Sinar Harian that the family's ordeal started when he received a call from the prison authority last Wednesday saying his son had died in jail.
