A mentally disabled 42-year-old man suspected of murdering his 43-year-old elder brother in Marang, Kuala Terengganu, has been remanded for seven days. Magistrate Yuhanis Mohd Roslan issued the detention order on October 4, 2026, at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital, where the suspect is currently held.
The murder occurred around 9am yesterday in Kampung Banggol Tasek, Bukit Payong, after a dispute over money. The victim, Mohd Nasir Ismail, died from repeated blows with a blunt object, while his 36-year-old sister, Rurazmiza, suffered injuries trying to intervene.
Police apprehended the suspect shortly after the incident occurred on a roadside in Bandar Bukit Payong. Initial investigations indicate the suspect's motivation was anger over the victim's frequent requests for money. However, police stress the motive remains under active investigation. Authorities have urged the public to avoid speculations that could prejudice the ongoing inquiry or disrespect the family's privacy.
