Myanmar National Stabbed To Death After Quarrel

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 (Bernama) -- A Myanmar national was stabbed to death after a quarrel with two friends in a house at a squatter area near Jalan Peel Tuesday.

Cheras deputy police chief Supt Abdul Rahim Hamzah Othman said the victim was believed to have been involved in a quarrel with two other Myanmar friends at 6.20pm.

"We found a Myanmar man lying with a stab wound in the neck and a 12 inch dagger was found in the house. The victims's identity card was also found in the house," he told reporters at the crime scene here Tuesday.

He said the victim came to the house five days ago to celebrate Chinese New Year with two friends. One of them was a tenant of the house.

"A man was seen leaving the house soon after the incident. He was not wearing a shirt, had a tattoo in the back and was wearing a sarong."

Abdul Rahim said two men aged 32 and 35 years-old had been detained to assist police investigation.

The victim from Sungai Ara, Penang was here to attend a course and took some time to meet his old friends.

The case is investigated under Section 302 of Penal Code.
