A man in his 40s died from severe injuries after he was allegedly beaten and stabbed during a violent altercation at an entertainment centre early yesterday morning.
Seremban District Police Chief ACP Azahar Abdul Rahman said the incident occurred at about 4.29am. The victim was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead due to the extent of his injuries.
“Preliminary investigations suggest that the fight involved between 10 and 12 men, and one of them is believed to have stabbed the victim,” he told Bernama.
Police are reviewing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from the surrounding area to identify the suspects and determine the cause of the altercation.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. Authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to contact the nearest police station to assist with the investigation.
A 1-minute-26-second CCTV clip from the premises has gone viral on social media, showing the victim attempting to flee while being chased by a group of men, before being attacked with objects including chairs and boxes.
