Six held over murder of e-hailing driver

 

KUALA LUMPUR: An e-hailing driver was killed after he was set upon by six people near an entertainment centre in Kepong recently, police said.

Sentul district police chief Beh Eng Lai said the 28-year-old man died on Dec 30 at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital from head injuries two days after the attack.

The attack was triggered due to a misunderstanding over the victim’s girlfriend, Beh said.

The girlfriend told police that the six had approached them at a car park near the entertainment centre before pulling the victim out of the car and physically assaulting him.

The six then fled the scene, Beh told reporters. The suspects, all of whom had criminal records, were eventually arrested in separate locations.

The case is being investigated for murder and the suspects are under remand until Jan 13, he said. - FMT
