Video footage from a local news outlet shows the victim's husband hugging the body in the middle of the road while sobbing profusely
According to Astro Awani, the man, Ahmad Norrizman Ahmad Termizi, is believed to have been passing by the site by coincidence when he realised that the deceased victim was his wife.
He ran towards her body before hugging it and letting out a cry.
