KAJANG: A 25-year-old was shot on his right shoulder by his
sister's ex-boyfriend who is a police support personnel (polis sokongan)
when his family refused the suspect's request to see her at the
family's house here in Taman Megah today.
The 28-year-old fired six shots, four of them were blanks, while the
other hit a Perodua Myvi's wind shield belonging to the injured man
technician T. Solomon, before fleeing.
According to the father T.
Tholilaletholan, 59, his daughter T. Josephine, 26, had ended her
relationship with the man known as Samuel last week due to his bad
behaviour.
"As her father, I also do not approve of the relationship, but it seems that the man cannot accept that,
"He is part of the police force, but his behaviour does not mirror a
discipline individual at all," Tholilaletholan said when met at his
house this evening.
He was not at home when the incident occurred at about 9.30am, but had came home as soon as he received a call from his wife A. Elizabeth, 56.
It was learnt that the 28-year-old suspect came to the house just after 7am,
to see his ex-girlfriend Josephine, but the girl's family had told him
she had went to work in Bangi, disclosing the fact that she was indeed
in the house at the time.
An hour and a half later, the house with 10 occupants including the
couple, their seven children and the grandmother, was once again visited
by the suspect, and he had somehow saw his ex-girlfriend in the house
this time around.
He tried to barge in, but was stopped by several family members including Solomon who had urged him to leave the resident.
Josephine had also told the man off, saying that their one-year love
affair had ended, and there was no more to talk about, before going
upstairs.
The suspect did not back off, instead, he climbed in on the gate, and
then fired three initial blank shots, aiming at the window upstairs.
After another blank shot, Solomon had wanted to stop the shooting but
was hit, this time by a real bullet, on his right shoulder and fell.
The suspect then shot at the windshield of the Myvi parked in front of the house before making his escape.
A supervisor working for the Kuala Lumpur City Council,
Tholilaletholan told the New Straits Times that he received news from
the police that the suspect was caught in Kajang town at 1pm.
At press time, he was about to give his statement at the Kajang police
station while his son's condition is stabilising after being warded at
the district hospital.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Ab Rashid Ab Wahab when
asked of the incident, had said that Selangor police chief Datuk Shukri
Dahalan himself will issue a statement.
