KUALA LUMPUR:

Police have arrested five foreign men to assist in investigations into the murder of a man found with stab wounds in Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Kajang, yesterday.

Kajang police chief Naazron Yusof said the suspects in their 20s and 30s were arrested by officers from the criminal investigation division of the Kajang district police headquarters.

He said the first arrest was made yesterday, with the suspect remanded for six days until July 26.

“The remaining four suspects will be brought before the Kajang magistrates’ court tomorrow for a remand application. Urine screening tests conducted on all the suspects were negative for drugs,” he said in a statement.
