KOTA BHARU - Police have arrested a man to assist in an investigation related to a fight that resulted in the death of a victim at Jalan Lama Pasir Putih-Machang in front of the Machang Hospital.

Kelantan police chief Datuk Muhamad Zaki Harun said the 46-year-old suspect was apprehended after appearing at the Machang district police headquarters to lodge a police report.

He said initial investigations revealed that the motive behind the incident was the suspect's suspicion of the victim having an illicit relationship with his wife.

"The suspect works for a private company in Kuala Lumpur while the victim and the suspect's wife are civil servants in the same department in Kuala Krai," he said in a statement, today.

He said the fight led to the death of the 51-year-old victim while receiving treatment at the Machang Hospital.

"The victim suffered serious injuries and bleeding on the face as well as both eyes and a broken rib on the left side," he said.

Zaki said the suspect who allegedly attacked the victim unarmed sustained injuries on both hands.

"Further investigations revealed that both of them have no criminal records and the suspect tested negative for drugs.
