Irishman dies in Malaysia dog attack

THE family of an Irishman who died in Malaysia after being attacked by dogs were last night coming to terms with his death.

Maurice Sullivan, a 50-year-old from Galway, had been travelling in the Asian country with his 29-year-old Polish girlfriend Agnieszka Jablonska when he was savagely attacked on a farm in Teluk Bahang on Penang Island.

It is understood the couple travelled there on Sunday morning to take photographs of durian trees in the farm’s orchard, having met with the farm owner the previous day.
