Three in family brutally murdered
KOTA KINABALU Jan 26, 2012: Three family members were brutally murdered by a group of men armed with machetes at an oil plantation at Kampung Kalumpang, Semporna here on Sunday.
It is said that 11 men armed with machetes attacked Ismail Jaafar, 50, his wife Salmiah Iran, 46, and their father Jaafar, 70, while they were resting with five others in the workers’ quarters in Kalumpang, about 20km from Semporna town.
The attack was believed to have been motivated by revenge.
One of the assailants, identified as Jul Mohd Nan, 37, was also killed following a struggle with one of the victims in the 5.30pm incident.
State Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib, in a press conference yesterday, said the bodies of Ismail and his father were found at the workers’ quarters while Salmiah’s remains were found in a nearby plantation at 3.40am the following day.
“Initial police investigation believes that she had ran to the plantation after escaping the attack but collapsed to serious injuries and died there,” he said, adding the victims were slashed multiple times on the neck and body.
Hamza said the couple’s three children aged between 13 and 18, and two other relatives escaped unhurt.
Police believed the group had rented a lorry to come to the plantation, said Hamza, adding police had brought in the lorry owner to help in the probe.
The group had also returned Jul’s remains to his village, at Kampung Tagasan Jaya, where he resided before fleeing.
Following the murder, Hamza said police detained three men, including one of the main suspects.
“We are looking for nine more men, including another key suspect – a 37-year-old man by the name of Amin Hatai, involved in the murder,” he said, noting that police recovered five machetes at the crime scene.
“The killing could have been fueled by revenge, probably over unsettled debt but we are still investigating,” he said, adding that police considered the case solved within 48 hours
“The incident happened in a plantation and we also have the particulars of those involved, with efforts underway to locate them,” he said.
