Man found beaten to death next to allegedly stolen banana bunches

Police report that they have identified the body found lying in the streets of Kampung, Tabakang, Terengganu, on Malaysia’s east coast.

Yesterday afternoon, a male in his 40s was found dead behind a house, with two bunches of bananas next to his body. Photographs from the grisly scene have since gone viral on social media, showing the man, wearing a yellow t-shirt, motionless with blood pouring from his head next to two large bunches of bananas.

Many are claiming that the man’s death was a result of having stolen said bananas from a nearby house, but no evidence or suspect has been brought forth by police to confirm this, nor a suspect named.

We here at Coconuts KL wonder, in addition to struggling with the depths of despair thinking about a human killing another person allegedly over some bananas: Why would you allegedly kill someone over bananas, and then leave them behind?
