Housemate stabbed to death over messy room in Sungai Buloh
SUNGAI BULOH: An argument over a messy room is believed to have led to a fatal altercation between two housemates, resulting in one man being stabbed to death at a house in Kampung Kubu Gajah, Sungai Pelong.
Sungai Buloh district police chief Superintendent Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor said both men had moved from Kelantan about six months ago and had been living together since.
"Initial investigations showed that an argument broke out between them over a domestic issue involving a messy room.
"During the fight, the 33-year-old victim was fatally stabbed with a knife by the 40-year-old suspect," he said today.
He added that a urine test showed the suspect tested positive for drugs.
The suspect has been remanded for six days until July 1 to assist in investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
It was reported yesterday that the victim, who had recently moved from Kelantan, was found dead with a stab wound to the chest, believed to be the result of a dispute with his housemate.
