PEKAN - Police are looking for the heirs of a man without any identification found dead by a fisherman in Sungai Merching, Nenasi, here on Aug 19.

Pekan district police chief Superintendent Mohd Zaidi Mat Zin said the man was clad in a dark blue Reebok brand long-sleeve T-shirt and a dark colour inner shirt with the words ‘Rav 96’ written on it.
