Malaysian found hanging dead

A MALAYSIAN national was found hanging dead inside his house in barangay Agujo, Daanbantayan town, northern Cebu, last Saturday night.

John Wong, 56, was found by his wife, Dioscora, suspended from a wall with a nylon rope tied around his neck.

The wife told police that three days before the incident, she and Wong went to Cebu City to renew her husband’s Visa.

Dioscora said her husband went home while she stayed at a friend’s house in Consolacion town.

The woman said she was shocked to see her husband hanging by the neck when she arrived home.

Disocora told police that her husband would threaten to commit suicide whenever he gets drunk.
