Hutang lama punca banduan maut dipukul 3 rakan sepenjara

On Tuesday, a 38-year-old man was brutally beaten and killed by three prison inmates at Marang Prison in Terengganu, Malaysia. The police stated that the investigation initially found the victim had been attacked by two other prisoners inside a cell and was pronounced dead upon arrival at Merchang Health Clinic.

Kota Polis Marang Chief Sofian Redzuan revealed that the IPD Marang received a report from a prison warder at 12:31 PM on Monday. According to the report, the victim, a 38-year-old male from Terengganu, and three male suspects aged between 21 and 35 years old were involved in the attack. Initial investigations showed the victim had been beaten by other prisoners in a cell before being transferred to Merchang Health Clinic for initial treatment.

However, medical officers confirmed the victim had died upon arrival at the clinic, as reported by Sinar Harian.

Post-mortem examination results confirmed the cause of death was due to severe blunt force trauma inflicted during the attack. The police believe the injuries were caused by either a fall or a punch received by the victim during the assault. Three of the inmates suspected of committing the crime have been identified as the perpetrators.

The preliminary investigation suggests the motive for the attack was due to the suspects' longstanding grudge and dissatisfaction with the victim. Further investigations are ongoing under Section 302 of the Offenses Against the Person Act, 1861, due to the murder.
