Two burglars broke into a man’s home in Kelantan, Malaysia on 8 September at about 3am, and they attacked him with parangs after robbing him, according to Sin Chew Daily.
The incident happened on 8 September at 3am, at the Lorong Paya Tok Gading residential area in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
The man’s niece, Wang Jinyin, said that her uncle had two friends over the previous night at about 9pm, and the latter three slept in a room on the first floor at 2.30am.
Wang was in the living room watching TV before she went back to her bedroom on the 2nd floor at 3am.
However, at about 3.36am, she heard shouts coming from downstairs and when she rushed downstairs, she found her uncle injured with slash wounds.
The attackers had already fled the scene.
Her uncle suffered injuries to his collarbone, shoulder, back, hand and foot; and he was then sent to the hospital.
House lock having problems
Wang said that their house utilises a smart lock that is having problems emitting sounds when it opens and closes, and they suspect the burglars might have entered the home through one of the windows.
One of the burglars went through her uncle and his friends’ luggages after entering through the first floor, and his friend’s car keys, phone and watch were all missing after the incident.
The burglars had initially wanted her uncle to bring them (the burglars) upstairs but he (the uncle) was worried for his family’s safety.
He also noticed that the burglar was smaller than him and he thought he could subdue him, but he didn’t realise that the burglar’s accomplice was in the living room armed with a parang.
Her uncle was then slashed by the burglar and his friends then put up a fight with the burglars after being woken up by the commotion.
By the time Wang and her family went downstairs, they found him covered in blood and the burglars gone, and her uncle was then sent to the hospital and a police report was then lodged.
