A 38-year-old prisoner from Terengganu died in Marang prison on August 25 after being allegedly beaten by three other inmates, according to Marang District Police chief Supt Sofian Redzuan.

The victim was pronounced dead due to a ruptured spleen caused by blunt force trauma, likely from punches or kicks.
He was beaten in a room by the suspects aged between 21 and 35 before being taken to the Merchang Health Clinic for treatment, but he was pronounced dead by a medical officer. The victim's body was sent to the Forensic Department of Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah for a post-mortem. The three suspects, also from Terengganu, have been detained for further investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
