NSTnation 'The suspect, who works as a chicken trader, allegedly slashed the victim with a machete before placing the victim's body in a large barrel and then pouring cement into the barrel.'
It is believed that the victim was slashed to death with a machete on Friday, before his body was stuffed in the barrel and cement poured in, next to their home at Kampung Padang Hassan, near here.
Kedah Criminal Investigation Department chief Sapii Ahmad said the incident was allegedly triggered by a misunderstanding between the 34-year-old and the 24-year-old suspect. "The suspect, who works as a chicken trader, allegedly slashed the victim with a machete before placing the victim's body in a large barrel and then pouring cement into the barrel."Police received information about the incident at 6.30am today, and arrested the suspect at his home at 7.30am.“Police also seized the machete and other equipment used by the suspect for further investigation," he said.
Sapii said police had sought the help of Fire and Rescue Department personnel to extricate the body from the barrel.Sapii added that the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.“I am shocked, I did not expect ‘Abang’ to become a murderer. He was a good person and had a religious education background.
“Maybe he wanted to defend himself and had inadvertently slashed to death before cementing his body in a barrel,” said Mohd Nazir Azami, 24.Nazir revealed that the deceased brother had previously undergone drug rehabilitation.“They always argued, but usually, the victim would be the one who starts it,” he added.
