Agony over son lost in Myanmar
Published on: Friday, May 16, 2025 Published on: Fri, May 16, 2025 By: R Gonzales Text Size: Nur showing a photo of her son who vanished in Myanmar. TAMPARULI: A distraught mother is desperately seeking answers after her 30-year-old son, known affectionately as Lieyco, vanished in Myanmar earlier this year, believed to be a victim of human trafficking. The woman who only wanted to be identified as Nur, 51, said she last spoke to her son in early January when he unexpectedly asked his family to pick him up from Tachileik, Myanmar despite originally telling them he was only vacationing in Bangkok, Thailand. Advertisement Lieyco had left Sabah in mid-June 2024, claiming he was going on a short holiday. However, his family later grew suspicious when his frequent communications suddenly stopped. 'What mother would not worry every single day? I keep dreaming that he is home, but there is still no news,' Nur said. After persuading him to reveal the truth in December, Lieyco admitted he was working in Thailand but refused to disclose details. Concerned, his family urged him to install the tracking app Life360, which showed his location shifting from urban buildings to a remote forested area in Tachileik. Despite lodging police reports and seeking help from Tuaran Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau, no progress has been made. An attempt to involve an NGO also stalled as Lieyco could not be reached, likely because his phone had been confiscated. 'We are not wealthy enough to travel to Myanmar and search for him ourselves. Our only hope now is for authorities to expedite efforts to locate and rescue him,' Nur said. Lieyco had previously struggled to secure a job in South Korea before returning to Sabah, leading his family to suspect he may have hidden his true intentions to work abroad out of fear they would stop him. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Bank murder accused aided by interpreter during court appearance
A 47-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with the murder of a bank customer in Derby city centre. Haybe Cabdiraxmaan Nur is charged with murdering Gurvinder Singh Johal, who died after a stabbing inside Lloyds bank in St Peter's Street on Tuesday. Nur spoke through a Somali interpreter, who attended the hearing at Derby Magistrates' Court via a video-link, to confirm his name and date of birth and to tell the judge hearing the case: 'I don't know where I live – somewhere there.' The defendant, who was arrested at an address in Western Road, Normanton, Derby, appeared in the dock dressed in grey jogging bottoms and a round-necked sweatshirt. Adjourning the case, District Judge Stephen Flint told Nur: 'I must send your case to Derby Crown Court. 'The next hearing will be on Friday the 9th of May. Tomorrow a Crown Court judge will decide what happens next in this case.' The judge also offered his condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr Johal. Mr Johal, who was 37, was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency services were alerted at around 2.35pm on Tuesday. A second man, in his 30s, who was arrested in connection with the incident, has been released with no further action, Derbyshire Constabulary said. In a statement, Samanatha Shallow, deputy chief crown prosecutor in the East Midlands, said: 'Following a review of the evidence provided by Derbyshire Constabulary, we have authorised criminal charges in relation to the death of 37-year-old Gurvinder Johal. 'The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial. 'It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.' Mr Johal was said to have been known to friends as Danny. In a tribute given to the Derby Telegraph on Wednesday, councillor Ajit Atwal, leader of the Lib Dem group on Derby City Council, who knew Mr Johal, said: 'He was a good businessman and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He was humble, quiet and a kind guy and would always go above and beyond for everyone. 'His family are devastated and cannot understand what has happened.'
