BALING, July 12 — Muhammad Luth Syauqi Nur Sufyan, the second victim who died after eating poisoned snacks, was laid to rest next to his older brother at the Kampung Banggol Berangan Muslim cemetery at 11.30pm yesterday.
Funeral prayers, led by Masjid Kampung Selarong Al Halimi imam Abdul Manaf L Saad, were performed before the burial.
Luth’s mother Nurain Hasnorizal, 25, his grandmother, Saadiah Yaacob, 62, and other family members were present for the funeral.
"Bye bye Luth," Saadiah said tearfully during the funeral as she bid her second grandson a final farewell.
Luth died at 1.24pm yesterday, two days after his older brother Muhammad Akil Syauqi, aged three, died at 8.40am on Wednesday (July 10).
Both of them fell critically ill from consuming poisoned snacks, believed to have been placed on a fence by an orchard owner to trap monkeys at Kampung Padang Ubi, Labu Besar, Kulim in Kedah.
