[The Malaysian Insider] Monday, 18 October, 2012 - Two security guards at a housing estate in Bukit Jalil were detained by police for causing the death of a suspected thief, yesterday.
Cheras deputy police chief Supt Abdul Rahim Hamzah Othman said the two security guards, aged 42 and 51, both locals, would be remanded for a week to assist in investigations into the death of a suspect who had tried to steal iron rods from a house in Mutiara Bukit Jalil with his accomplice.
The incident happened at about 6am when the 42-year-old security guard heard noises from a house which was under renovation, and saw two men trying to steal iron rods and pipes.
“Realising the guard’s presence, one of the suspects hit the security guard on the head with a parang, before escaping,” he told reporters here today.
Abdul Rahim said the injured security guard alerted his colleague, a 51-year-old, who arrived at the house and started attacking one of the two suspects who was trapped inside the house.
“The suspect suffered severe injuries to his head, hands and legs,” he said.
He said police later arrived at the scene and took the injured suspect to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) for treatment but the two security guards had left the scene by then.
“After receiving treatment, the suspect was taken to the lock up, but on the way, the suspect complained of difficulty in breathing and urged the police to return to the hospital.
“However, the suspect who has three previous records for drugs and extortion, was pronounced dead upon arrival. Police later detained the two security guards,” he said.
He said the 42-year-old guard who was detained in Jalan Pudu, had previous criminal records for drugs and illegal demonstrations while the second security guard had two previous records for drug offences while both would be investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. – Bernama

Hi, I believe the date has been mistakenly written? Should be 18 October, 2010?
