MALAYSIA:

25-year-old foreigner arrested for slashing employer


An Indonesian youth slashed his boss to death this morning after the latter 
"humiliated" him.

Sabah Officer-In-Charge of Criminal Investigation Senior Assistant Commissioner 
Salehhudin Abdul Rahman revealed the 25-year-old suspect was picked up by the 
police around 10.15am today. He was detained at an palm oil plantation in Lahad 
Datu, 4 hours after Mohamad Tuaran's body was found in a pool of blood by 
members of the public.

A parang was also seized from the suspect, believed to be an illegal immigrant.

"We received a complaint around 6am from villagers at Kampung Dewata Lahad Datu 
who found the body of a man under a house.

"A post mortem was carried out. It was found there were slash wounds on the 
41-year-old victim's stomach and arms."

Initial investigation revealed that the victim felt he was humiliated by the 
suspect, prompting him to attack and slash his employer to death.

The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, 
which carries the mandatory death penalty on conviction. "With the suspect's 
arrest, we believe we have solved the case."
