A total of 12 held after security guard burnt to death on Saturday.
KUALA LUMPUR: Police arrested another four gangsters in Klang and Kampar early this morning after security guard Muhammad Ridzhuan Che Bi was burnt to death Saturday morning.
Ridzhuan’s death is the latest in the ongoing violent battle between two gangs over the drug trade and providing security services in the Bandar Bukit Raja area.
Six other guards and another person were injured and three guardhouses burnt down in 11 Avenue, Awani and Fuego early Saturday morning.
Five gangsters on motorcycles who were armed with machetes stormed into the area at 2am and burnt Ridzhuan, slashed the other security guards, and torched the guard posts.
Police swung into action immediately and arrested eight men between 11pm on Saturday and 4am Sunday in Klang.
Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Commissioner Mohd Adnan Abdullah said the Saturday killing follows the murder of Gang 24 leader Asli Guna on February 11 over the drug trade in the area.
“We believe the attack was in relation to security services and have not ruled out that gangsters were involved,” said Adnan in a report carried by The Malay Mail Online.
Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said two special federal police units, the Anti-Vice, Gaming and Secret Society division and the Special Task Force for Anti-Vice, Gaming and Gangsterism, are helping Klang police hunt down the gangsters.
Zahid said the ministry would summon the guards’ employers for their statements. “If there is any breach in conditions or regulations, we will take action,” he said.
