Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian authorities detained 269 Rohingya refugees and found a body on board a suspected smuggling boat they said had been intentionally damaged so it couldn’t be turned back to sea. How long the Rohingya were at sea and where they came from were not disclosed.

Malaysian marine officials intercepted the vessel on Monday off the northern resort island of Langkawi, the National Task Force said in a statement. It said 53 people who jumped off the boat and tried to swim ashore were detained, another 216 were detained from the boat and the body of a woman was found on board. (AP)
