KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 — Police arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of stabbing his brother under an apartment block at Taman Putra Damai in Kelana Jaya near here yesterday.

Petaling Jaya Police chief ACP Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said in the incident at about 12.08 pm, the 24-year-old victim and his friend, 19, were each injured in the chest, abdomen and back.
