A man was shot to death at his family’s fruit orchard near Sibu, Malaysia in the early hours of Tuesday (Aug 1).
According to Sibu OCPD Asst Comm Zulkifli Suhaili, the police were alerted to the shooting incident at KM3 Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman at around 1.23am on Tuesday. The victim, identified as Pang Heng Hua, 46, was at the orchard with two friends at the time.
One of the victim’s friends sustained a facial injury, while the other was unhurt.
“The victim and his two friends, aged 46 and 36 years old, had gone to the orchard at about 9.30pm for supper. At about 11.30pm, when they were about to leave, one of the friends opened the gate. Suddenly, a man showed up and started shooting at them from close range,” said ACP Zulkifli.
Pang’s family members and friends rushed him to the hospital, but he was declared dead upon arrival. ACP Zulkifli revealed that the victim had been shot eight times.
Furthermore, ACP Zulkifli disclosed that Pang had a criminal record, with three previous offences of voluntarily causing hurt under Section 324 of the Penal Code. When asked if the victim was the leader of a gang called “Lo Han,” the police said they are still investigating.
“We are still investigating the motive of the attack and the type of gun used in the shooting. We advise the public not to speculate on the case,” urged ACP Zulkifli.
The case is currently being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
