KUANTAN - A senior citizen was found dead with injuries to his mouth, eyes and face at the parking lot of a hotel in Genting Highlands, after being involved in a fight at the hotel lobby.

Bentong District Police Chief Supt Zaiham Mohd Kahar said the body of the 67-year-old victim was found at 5.39 pm yesterday.

"Closed circuit television (CCTV) recordings obtained by police showed that there was a fight between the victim and a 38-year-old local man in the lobby before they left for the parking lot and fought again.
