He said: “It pains me to look at my son’s battered body.”
State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Christopher Wan, who offered his condolences to Asrin’s family at the hospital, said three students aged between 16 and 17, and a 22-year-old youth had been arrested.
Meanwhile, State CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Syed Ismail Syed Azizan said Asrin’s attackers were either high on drugs or drunk when they set on him, because their walk was unsteady and their speech slurred.
SAC Syed Ismail said police were looking for Shaik Mohd Fadzil Shaik Abdullah, 20, Abdul Aziz Abdul Halim, 19, Mohd Faizal Mohd Noor, 19, and Mohd Faizal Anuar, 21 – all of Jalan Tanjong Tokong – to help in investigations.
