Murder suspect shot dead after attacking cops with machete

An Indonesian man in his 20s was fatally shot after attacking police officers with a machete in an apartment in Bukit Subang, Selangor, yesterday evening.

Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the man was a suspect in the murder of a 19-year-old Indonesian woman who was found dead with eight stab wounds in Sungai Way, Petaling Jaya last Monday.

He said a police team from the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Petaling Jaya police headquarters raided the apartment at about 5.30pm in connection with the murder case.

“Tensions escalated as the man attacked the police officers with a machete and in a desperate bid for self-defence a single gunshot was fired by the police,” he said.

“The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and a 28cm machete was seized,” said Hussein in a statement yesterday.

He said the investigation conducted under Section 307 of the Penal Code is ongoing and anyone with information about the incident can contact investigating officer Muhammad Abdul Hafiz Sariee at 014-8905051.
