IPOH, Jan 1 The body of a wanted criminal with slash wounds across his body was found in the bushes near a temple in Tanjung Rambutan here yesterday evening.
The 34-year old victim was believed to have been killed in a fight with a group of drug addicts.
Ipoh district police chief ACP A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz said the initial investigation revealed that the victim was not satisfied with the group after his brother was detained by the police for a slashing incident in November and went to confront them at a shed near the area at about 7.30pm yesterday.
Scene of the crime: A police officer taking photographs of the area where the dead dogs were found.
IPOH: A spate of stray dog poisoning cases is causing public concern and they want the authorities to take serious action against the perpetrators.
With at least 50 dogs found dead in the past three weeks, suspected to have been poisoned, the public are concerned that the cruel act will get worse if the perpetrators are not brought to justice.
An animal rescue non-governmental organisation here is offering a reward to those who can provide information on the individuals responsible for poisoning the dogs.
