The body of a man with a slash wound on the neck, a spider tattoo on the left shoulder and both hands tied with adhesive tape was found in a Chinese cemetery in Kerayong, Sungai Besi, here, today.

The body, fully attired, seemed to be of a man in his 20's and was found lying on its back in a hut by the caretaker of the cemetery at about 11 am, said Brickfields OCPD ACP Muhammad Azlee Abdullah.

"The man is believed to have been a member of the 08 gang," he told Bernama.

Muhammad Azlee said the motive for the murder could be revenge or linked to a drug syndicate.

No identification document or weapons were found at the scene, he said, and added that the body had been sent to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre.
