Six killed as hundreds of Rohingya flee Malaysia detention
More than 500 escaped an immigration detention centre in the country’s north early on Wednesday, but some were killed as they tried to cross a highway.
...... Six people, including two women and two children, were killed as they tried to cross the nearby highway at about 6:50am (22:50 GMT on Tuesday) and were struck by fast-moving vehicles.
“The bodies were thrown all over the highway,” Atan, a local resident who saw the accident as he was driving his children to school, told the local New Straits Times newspaper. “It was a sad scene. Innocent lives were lost just like that.”
