Two men killed in suspected gold mining incident

Two men were killed after a two-metre-high earth embankment collapsed on them while they were allegedly mining for gold at a stream in the Jerimbong oil palm plantation last night.

A third man survived the incident, which occurred around 8.20pm.

Jeli Fire and Rescue Station chief Adni Ibrahim said they received an emergency call reporting that the victims were buried under the soil, after which nine personnel rushed to the scene to conduct a search and rescue operation.

He said the first victim was found at 9.25pm, while the second was recovered at 11.18pm.

Both men, in their 30s, were pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel and their bodies were handed over to the police for further action.
