KOTA SAMARAHAN, Dec 6 — A 69-year-old blind woman was rescued on Friday morning after members of the public found her by the roadside in Kampung Telok Sabang here.

Confirming the incident, Kota Samarahan district police chief Supt Damataries Lautin said the report was received at around 6.30am.

He said the woman had attempted to seek help by crawling out of her house, as she could no longer bear the stench from her daughter’s decomposing body.
