Police detained a man at 6.30pm yesterday in Jenjarom, Shah Alam, to assist in the investigation of an 'Ah Long' believed to have been hacked to death in front of a coffee shop in Bandar Baru Bukit Tinggi Klang earlier in the morning.
South Klang district police chief Shamsul Amar Ramli said they suspected that the man was involved in the case that claimed the life of the 47-year-old unlicensed money-lender.
"Preliminary investigation found that the suspect denied any involvement, and further investigation will continue after the remand application is obtained at the Klang Court,” he said in a statement.
Earlier, it was reported that the victim was approached by three men armed with machetes when he was about to open the door to his car after a meal with his two children, aged 10 and 18. He was then attacked by two of the men.
Shamsul said the victim fled towards cars parked in the area and died at the scene.
The three suspects fled in a car waiting for them on the roadside, heading out towards Persiaran Batu Nilam, Klang, he added.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
