The South Klang police picked up five local men yesterday to facilitate probes into the death of an Indian national in the district.
The 21-year-old victim, identified as Settu Ezhilarasan (above), was found dead on Monday with a stab wound on his chest believed to be caused by the forks of a forklift truck, said the district police chief Shamsul Amar Ramli.
He said the victim is believed to have died in another area but was left along Jalan Sg Pinang in Pulau Indah.
Post-mortem investigations on the same day showed that he had a 13cm wound on the right chest and a 4cm injury on the back.
A safety helmet was among several items found near the victim. Forensics managed to trace three fingerprints from it.
The investigation led the police to the five suspects, aged between 32 and 47.
"We have seized a forklift at a factory in Taman Perindustrian Pulau Indah Fasa 2 in Pelabuhan Klang and a Mitsubishi Triton vehicle," said Shamsul.
The police are set to apply for remand on the suspects this morning to continue the investigation.
