Eight corpses washed ashore in Malaysia: The decomposing bodies of eight men believed to be foreign fishermen have washed ashore in Malaysia's northern state of Kelantan, official news agency Bernama said on Monday, quoting police. The men, believed to be Thai nationals, were probably aged between 30 and 40 and could have been dead for a week, police spokesman Roslan Ahmad said. Kelantan borders Thailand. District police chief Mohd Soaihami Rahim said the first body was found at 10.30 p.m. on Sunday, and the others on Monday. Villagers said some of the bodies were tattooed, and were missing limbs or even heads, and bore injuries probably caused by fish. -- Reuters
