KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 — A man and his wife have been detained in connection with an incident where an elderly man was stabbed at a parking lot of a supermarket in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Kajang here, early today.

Kajang police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the two individuals, aged 51 and 45, were nabbed at about 1.30am at the Serdang Hospital and in the federal capital.

He said a report was lodged by a medical officer after the 71-year-old victim, who suffered injuries to his body and thigh, was brought to the Serdang Hospital late yesterday afternoon.

"The victim was brought to the hospital by a female friend who is also the suspect’s wife and he managed to tell the hospital staff that he was attacked at a supermarket in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn.

"The victim, who suffered serious injuries to his right lung, right shoulder and thigh, succumbed to the injuries at 11.05 pm yesterday,” he said in a statement today.

Mohd Zaid said investigations found that the man was angry when he found his wife and the victim in the same car at the scene.

The victim’s car, four handphones, the clothes worn by the suspect that contained blood stains and a receipt for a knife were seized.

He said that the two individuals were being remanded for seven days until December 2. — Bernama
