Man killed due to a misunderstanding with colleagues
KOTA KINABALU: A man attending a Hari Raya Aidiladha eve prayer was stabbed to death following a misunderstanding with several workmates in Kinabatangan.
In the 10pm incident on Friday (June 6), the victim was attending the Takbir Raya programme at an estate workers' quarters compound when three men confronted him.
Kinabatangan OCPD Supt D. Ravi said the three men, all immigrants, were believed to be drunk.
'Based on information given by the victim's nephew in a police report lodged early the next day, the suspects suddenly lunged at the victim but he managed to run into his quarters.
"The weapon-wielding men ran after the victim, broke the window before climbing in to attack him," he said on Monday (June 9).
Supt Ravi said the victim had stab wounds in his chest and back, which are believed to be the cause of death.
'When the victim was stabbed, he managed to shout for help before collapsing in a drain nearby,' he added.
Others who saw the injured man brought him to the Lahad Datu Hospital but he died on the way.
Following this, two suspects, aged 30 and 46, were nabbed while another person is still at large.
A 17cm-long knife, believed to be used in the attack, was seized.
In another incident in Tawau, a 44-year-old man was arrested for hitting his 60-year-old neighbour on his head with a padlock on Saturday (June 7).
The victim was walking down the stairs at the Sri Balung flats when he was suddenly hit on his head with a hard object by the suspect.
The man then fled the scene.
Tawau OCPD Asst Comm Jasmin Hussin said the victim went back to his house to get help from his wife, who called the police and an ambulance.
'The suspect was arrested in the same area later. A padlock, believed to be used in the attack, was seized,' he said in a statement on Monday (June 9).
ACP Jasmin said the suspect will be investigated for voluntarily causing hurt using a weapon or a dangerous object.

QuickCheck: Did a domestic dispute lead to traffic trouble in Johor?
A screenshot of the viral video showing the blue SUV driving on the wrong side of the road in Johor Baru. WHEN an argument breaks out, emotions can lead people into uncharted territory. This is arguably especially true when this war of words is due to a domestic dispute. It was claimed recently that an argument between a man and his wife led the man to drive in a dangerous manner in Johor Bahru. Did an argument with his wife really lead a man to drive against traffic, as seen in a viral video? VERDICT: TRUE Johor Baru South OCPD Asst Comm Raub Selamat confirmed this, saying that the investigation began after they received information on Sunday (June 8) night from Bukit Aman about a viral video of a car being driven against the flow of traffic. He said that the investigation showed that the incident occurred at around 1.41am on Saturday (June 7) when a locally registered car went against traffic. 'Checks on the vehicle registration allowed the police to locate and identify its owner, who we instructed to come to the Johor Baru South police traffic station," he said on Monday (June 9). ACP Raub added that the owner then arrived at the police station on the same day at around 11.30pm to help with the ongoing investigation. "Based on recording his statement, the owner, who is a 34-year-old man, admitted to driving the car against the traffic flow at the time,' he said. 'The owner said he was in a misunderstanding with his wife, which caused him to lose focus while behind the wheel, resulting in the car entering the wrong lane," added ACP Raub, who said that the man tested negative for drugs and alcohol. ACP Raub added that the case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.
