KOTA KINABALU: A Malaysian kidnap victim who escaped from Abu Sayyaf kidnappers in a volley of gunfire five days ago has died at a private hospital in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines.
Doctors removed life support from Jari Abdullah, 34, at 1.30pm yesterday with the consent of his mother Zuana Laudioto, who arrived there at his bedside late on Monday.
His mother had also requested Malaysian officials’ help to send Jari’s body back to Sandakan for burial. Jari suffered gunshot wounds to his head, chest and groin while escaping from his kidnappers during a gunfight between his kidnappers and Philippine marines on Simusa Island in Sulu last Thursday. Jari and two Indonesians were abducted from their Sandakan-based fishing trawler on Dec 5 while fishing in the Pegasus Reef area in Kinabatangan waters, close to the Tawi Tawi island chain in southern Philippines.
