‘Murder’ cries over 2 Botswana students found dead at Templers’ Park

Bodies of 2 students from Botswana were found at the Templer’s Park Waterfalls last Monday. They were currently enrolled with 2 private universities in Malaysia namely the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology (LUCT) and Asia Pacific University College of Technology (UCTI). One of them, Takongwa Olatetse was in his final year and was expected to finish his studies here and return home by the end of this year.

According to ACP Abdul Rahim Abdullah, the police chief of Gombak said that the bodies were found by a man who was there fishing. He first found 2 bags and passports before setting out to find the owners but instead found the 2 bodies floating in the water nearby. He then contacted the police. The Selayang Fire and Rescue team was brought in and was brought out before being taken to the Selayang Hospital.

As the family members of the students are not in Malaysia, their friends and lecturers were informed to identify the bodies. According to one of them, they could not identify them as the bodies were in the water for too long. The Botswana students were known to be very good students and one of them was a straight A student. Read more
