KL judge found dead

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Malaysia's former Supreme Court judge, Eusoffe Abdoolcader, was found dead with a gunshot wound in his home in northern Penang state late on Thursday.

The 71-year-old judge, who was in his pajamas, was found sprawled on his bed by his Filipina maid.

A police official Ibrahim Abdul Rahman said a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver was found near him. Police also recovered two slugs from the bedroom.

Eusoffe, a widower, lived in a double-story bungalow with his two Filipina maids and his gardener since his wife Haseena Abdullah died in 1993. A close friend said yesterday that Eusoffe had been depressed following his wife's death.
