Question

Accepted Answer

Police have not established the cause of the dispute between the two Myanmar nationals in the Sitiawan case
Police have not yet determined what caused the dispute between a man believed to be a Myanmar national and a suspect who is also believed to be Myanmar. The victim, estimated to be in his 30s, was found dead in a hut at a shrimp pond in Kampung Acheh, Sitiawan, with traces of injuries on his head. Investigators say the victim and the suspect were believed to have been fighting, but both the cause of the fight and the weapons used are still under investigation.
Dispute cause is still under investigation
Manjung district police chief ACP Nor Omar Sappi said preliminary investigations found head injuries on the victim. The victim was believed to have been assaulted by his countryman. Police have not identified what led to the fight between the two Myanmar nationals.
Suspect and victim circumstances at the shrimp pond
The victim was an employee at the shrimp pond, where he was working with two other workers. The suspect was a former employee of the shrimp pond and was sleeping at the victim’s house. Police believe these circumstances preceded the incident involving the two men.
Detention and next court step for the suspect
The suspect, in his 20s, was detained with the help of the victim’s employer. He will be brought to the Seri Manjung Magistrate’s Court for a remand order the next day. This follows the discovery of the body at around 9.30am after information was received from the pond owner.
Post-mortem and investigation under Penal Code
The victim’s body was sent to Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh for a post-mortem. Police said the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Investigators are still working to clarify the cause of the dispute and what was used in the assault.
