Two men aged 25 have been remanded for six days to assist investigations into the death of a person with disabilities (PwD) at Ladang Merdeka Cherbu, Padang Lati, Bachok, three weeks ago.
The remand order was issued by Magistrate Nik Mohd Fadli Datuk Nik Azlan on Saturday, allowing police to detain both suspects until next Friday for investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
Earlier, the suspects arrived at the court complex at around 9.40am dressed in lock-up attire and were escorted by police officers.
The case is linked to the death of 20-year-old Muhammad Zakir Fikry Mohd Zainal, a man with learning disabilities, who was allegedly assaulted during an incident at Ladang Merdeka Cherbu, Padang Lati, Bachok, on April 15.
The victim suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead at 12.55am while receiving treatment at Universiti Sains Malaysia Specialist Hospital.
