SIBU: A coffee shop operator was found hanged at his house around 6pm on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old’s body was found hanging from a curtain rod in a room of the house.

He is believed to have taken his own life due to mounting debts.

Earlier that day, Sia is said to have asked his wife to pick up their youngest daughter from school before he returned to home from the coffee shop at 2pm.

He apparently entered his room and never came back out.

Sia’s family members only realised what had happened when his daughter wanted to ask him to take her to tuition class.

Meanwhile, a man arrested on Tuesday for allegedly stabbing his friend in a hotel room in Central Road here was placed on a three-day remand from yesterday.

In the incident around 5pm, the suspect is said to have accused the victim of stealing his belongings.

The victim suffered injuries to his chest and neck.
