In a shocking incident in Petaling Jaya, a man was attacked by the ex-husband of his girlfriend after the latter expressed dissatisfaction over her new relationship. The assailant, an Indian man, reportedly conspired with two accomplices to invade his ex-wife’s home, armed with knives and iron rods, leading to severe injuries for the boyfriend.
According to Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Farus, the Deputy Director of the Subang Jaya Police District, the police have identified the three suspects and are currently in pursuit of their whereabouts.
The police received a report at approximately 2:15 AM from a local woman, who stated that her current boyfriend had been assaulted by her ex-husband and his two friends at a flat in the Puchong Diamond Garden area.
Investigations revealed that the 47-year-old victim was living with the ex-wife of the assailant. It is believed that the assailant, feeling resentment over his ex-wife’s new relationship, summoned his friends to confront the boyfriend.
“The investigation indicates that the three suspects physically assaulted the victim, using both knives and iron rods to inflict injuries to his body and head, resulting in serious harm,” Mohamad Farus stated.
The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment and is currently in stable condition. The police have confirmed the identities of the three Indian suspects, who are aged between 30 and 40 years.
The police are invoking Section 326 of the Penal Code, which pertains to causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons, to investigate the case further.
