KUALA LUMPUR: A cook from India was beaten to death by his fellow countryman for allegedly not paying a debt of RM500 in an incident in Jalan Tun Sambanthan here Saturday.
Brickfields police chief ACP Muhammad Azlee Abdullah said the body of Hukumdev Sah Raghunath Sah, 39, was found in the restaurant’s toilet, which was locked from outside.
“No stab wound was found on the body. A man of Indian nationality and in his 20s, was arrested in a nearby shop in connection with the incident.
“Initial investigations found that the victim owed the suspect RM500 and refused to repay the debt, hence causing a fight between them,” he told reporters here.
He said in the 1.47pm incident, the suspect was said to have punched the victim on the face and chest, which caused the latter to pass out, before dragging him into the toilet and locking the door.
The body was taken to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for a post mortem and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
