Cops arrest father and son for alleged murder in Ampang after post-mortem reveals foul play
Ampang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said the case was initially treated as a sudden death after a call from a medical assistant at Hospital Kuala Lumpur at 7.16pm on June 22 reported a man's death at Jalan Perdana 6/5, according to the New Straits Times.
Police confirmed the death at the scene, but a post-mortem at Ampang Hospital the following day uncovered necrotising soft tissue infections caused by skin and skeletal injuries.
The victim's body was found in the home of one of the suspects, prompting the case to be reclassified as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
Police arrested two local men between June 26 and 28 — a 36-year-old self-employed man and his 73-year-old unemployed father.
Investigators also seized a bamboo cane and an adjustable plier believed to be linked to the killing, Azam said.
Both suspects tested negative for drugs and have no previous criminal records.
The younger suspect has been remanded for 14 days from June 27 to July 10, while his father is remanded for 13 days from June 29 to July 11.
Azam said the murder is believed to be related to a debt dispute.
Those convicted under Section 302 face the death penalty or up to 40 years in prison with at least 12 strokes of the cane.

Mother of Zara Qairina denies linking daughter's death to high-profile individuals
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — The mother of Zara Qairina Mahathir, the student who died last month after reportedly falling at a boarding school in Papar, Sabah, has denied making any allegations linking her daughter's death to prominent individuals, according to a statement by her lawyers, as reported by Berita Harian. Zara Qairina, 14, was found critically injured beneath the dormitory building of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Tun Datu Mustapha at around 3am on July 16. She was pronounced dead the following day at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu. Preliminary findings suggested she had fallen from the third floor of the dormitory. Since the incident, speculation has swirled on social media — including unverified claims of bullying and attempts to associate the case with individuals linked to political figures. However, her lawyers, Hamid Ismail and Shahlan Jufri, said their client, Noraidah Lamat, had never issued any statement implicating anyone in connection with her daughter's death. 'Noraidah has never mentioned any high-profile individual in relation to Zara's death. Any such assumptions or allegations are baseless and did not come from her,' the lawyers said in a statement quoted by Berita Harian today. They also refuted viral claims that a student was shouted at with the words 'you're a murderer' on the day of the incident, and that three students had been transferred out of the school that same day. Noraidah, they said, only learned of these claims after they began circulating online. The case is still under police investigation. So far, statements have been recorded from 60 witnesses, including three individuals whose nicknames have been widely shared on social media, Berita Harian reported. Istana Seri Kinabalu has also issued a firm denial, refuting social media rumours linking the case to the family of Sabah Governor Tun Musa Aman. In the same statement, Noraidah's lawyers urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information or speculating further on the case. 'Spreading false or baseless claims can interfere with the police investigation and defame innocent parties. 'Any information that may assist the authorities should be directed to the police or to our office,' they said.

In Pudu, wife shocked after learning policeman husband was stabbed during KL patrol
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — The wife of a police corporal stabbed while on patrol in Pudu last week described her shock upon receiving a call from the hospital requesting immediate consent for emergency surgery. Norfazliana Osman, 35, said she was at their home in the Pudu police quarters when Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, contacted her around 1 pm on Thursday. 'They said they needed to operate immediately and asked for consent as part of his intestines might need to be removed due to the stab wound,' she told reporters at the hospital today. Her husband, Corporal Mohd Nadzri Sudiman, remains in stable condition but is still weak and requires pain management, she said. 'I understand the risks of his job as a policeman, but as a wife, the fear is always there,' said Norfazliana, who has two children aged 11 and seven. She said it is uncertain how long her husband will remain hospitalised, but confirmed their children have been informed of his condition. Earlier, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay visited Mohd Nadzri at the hospital. Also present were Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad, Bukit Aman Management (Administration) deputy director Datuk Azizee Ismail, Wangsa Maju district police chief ACP Mohd Lazim Ismail and Cheras district police chief ACP Aidil Bolhassan. Mohd Nadzri was seriously injured after being stabbed in the abdomen by a 56-year-old local man while patrolling with four other officers in Pudu Market, Jalan Yew. The suspect was arrested at the scene and has been remanded until next Thursday. The case is being investigated under Section 307 and Section 186 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and obstructing a public servant, as well as Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. — Bernama
