MUAR: Three family members who were killed in a motorcycle accident on Jalan Tekek-Juara, Pulau Tioman, Pahang, on Friday (March 20) have been laid to rest at the Batu 6 Muslim Cemetery in Bakri here.
The remains of Mohd Sabri Ja'afar, 42; his wife, Siti Aisyah Suhaime, 32; and their five-year-old son, Muhammad Yusuf Abdurrahman Mohd Sabri, arrived at Surau Ar-Rahman, Bakri, at about 10.45pm, before funeral prayers were performed by the congregation and family members.
A sombre atmosphere surrounded the cemetery as the bodies were placed into the graves.
The funeral was attended by about 100 people, including the victims’ relatives.
In the incident, which occurred at about 4pm on Friday, the motorcycle ridden by the family of three was believed to be travelling from the Kamoung Juara waterfall towards a resort when it skidded and veered off the left shoulder of the road.
According to Rompin police chief Supt Sharif Shai Sharif Mondoi, the location was a steep, uneven downhill stretch.
All three victims were reported dead at the scene. – Bernama
