Penghuni rumah jagaan tanpa lesen diikat, dipukul, dipijak
Polis berkata seorang penjaga mengarahkan mangsa diikat sebelum memukul dan memijaknya bersama beberapa penghuni rumah jagaan itu.
Police investigations revealed the deceased, a 54-year-old man, was tied up, beaten, and kicked by fellow residents of a nursing home in Tanjung Rambutan, Ipoh. Ketua Polis Perak Alwi Zainal Abidin stated that the incident occurred last Monday night, with the victim reportedly being aggressive and disturbing other residents. A caretaker allegedly tied the victim before beating and kicking them along with several other nursing home residents.
According to Sinar Harian, police received notification of the victim's death at 5:41 pm on Tuesday. Forensic examination of the body at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital confirmed the cause of death as severe head trauma. The victim was one of 21 residents at the nursing home, which was occupied by their families. The victim's family has been informed, and further investigations, including obtaining the victim's medical records from the nursing home, are ongoing.
In related developments, Alwi noted that the nursing home, operating since 2012, only holds a business registration with the Companies Department but lacks any valid registration from the Social Welfare Department, Ipoh City Council, or the Ministry of Health. The premises also lack closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, and authorities are now completing investigations from all angles, including recording witness testimonies and cooperating with relevant agencies.
Yesterday, police reportedly stated that a caretaker and four residents aged 35 to 55 were detained for four days starting August 8 to aid the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
