A 21-year-old Rohingya man has been arrested in Kota Bharu after his housemate, aged 18, died with slash and machete wounds to the neck in Kampung Pak Boh near Kota Bahru. Police allege the suspect claimed he acted after hallucinating and being instructed by God. The victim's body was discovered at midnight on Saturday. Police found no prior argument or struggle between the two men.
The suspect, a construction worker, fled the scene after the incident and was arrested at his rented house in Pasir Mas. Police are investigating inconsistencies in the suspect's documents, specifically the year of birth, which may indicate misuse of a UNHCR card. Kelantan's police chief also confirmed an increase in maritime human trafficking from Tak Bai, Thailand, into the state.
