IPOH: 

A Bangladeshi man was found dead and is suspected to have been killed by his compatriots who were staying in the same construction workers’ quarters in Taman Lagenda Phase 3, Teluk Intan today.

Perak police chief Azizi Aris said a report was received about the 27-year-old contract worker at around 5am today.

“The victim was found lying in the bushes behind the house covered in blood, with injuries to the neck caused by an unidentified weapon.

We were informed that the victim’s disappearance was noticed when a friend wanted to invite him for prayers at around 8.30pm yesterday,

 he said at the Perak police headquarters here today.

Azizi said police later arrested three of the victim’s friends, aged 32 to 39, and have opened an investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

So far, we have seized three mobile phones belonging to the suspects and are trying to locate the murder weapon. The victim’s body was taken to Teluk Intan Hospital for an autopsy,

 he said.

Meanwhile, Azizi also said police believe they have broken up a car break-in syndicate with the arrest of two men and a woman aged between 24 and 26. He said they are suspected of vandalising vehicles to loot personal property around Manjung for the past month.

He added that with the arrest of the trio, 15 cases of criminal activities targeting cars in elite housing areas have been solved. - FMT
