The bodies of two Chinese tourists who were trapped in a car when a tree fell on it in Pinang Peranakan Mansion in Lebuh Gereja in Malaysia’s Penang state have been recovered.
Firefighters managed to retrieve the bodies of the victims – Liu Zhu, 69 and his daughter Liu Xinxin, 36 – from the wreckage at about 5pm on Wednesday.
The man was seated in the rear seat while the woman was found in the front passenger seat.
A crane had to be called in to lift the tree, whose roots were attached to a slab of concrete walls that came down with it.
It was understood that the duo had finished the visit at the attraction site and were leaving when the tragedy struck.
The driver of the vehicle managed to escape unhurt.
