A man has been found dead with his hands tied behind his back in a drain near the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) in Gombak here.

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said there were three slash wounds found on his back, right shoulder and head.

"The semi-nude body was found floating in a drain by a quantity surveyor involved in widening a road in the area at 1.15pm Saturday.

"The man was believed to be dead two days ago. We have yet to ascertain his nationality and age," said Ku when contacted last night.
