LUNDU: A local man was found dead at home after he was assaulted by two friends.

Sarawak CID chief Datuk Zulkifli Hassan, who confirmed the case, said the 41-year-old victim was having a meal in his house at Kampung Sampadi, Lundu with a friend when two men – also his friends – showed up on a motorcycle and asked him out.

The victim went out from his house only to have the two suspects assault him with

sticks and hard objects before fleeing.

The victim’s friend sent him to Lundu Hospital but he was pronounced dead upon arrival, having been injured on the head and body.

It was believed the attack

was the result of a misunderstanding that happened a few days ago.

In that incident,  the victim went to the house of one of the suspects

but the two of them quarrelled, and he ended up smashing a few things at the house.

The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

The two suspects are yet to be arrested.
