SEPANG: Police have arrested four men to assist in investigations into the murder of a man in front of his house in Sungai Pelek here.

Sepang district police chief, Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the suspects, aged 25 to 33, were detained at a plantation here at 9.30am today.

Wan Kamarul said the girlfriend of the 45-year-old victim had reported that he was murdered in front of his house at about 11.30pm yesterday.

“The victim was standing outside his house as he was feeling ill after consuming some alcohol, when a car suddenly pulled up.

“Two men alighted from the car and one of them stabbed the victim in his back and head, while the other suspect hit the victim’s head with a helmet. Both suspects then fled in the car,” he said in a statement today.
