KOTA KINABALU: Malaysian Kee Teck Leng was stabbed to death on June 21, even while he was recovering in a Haadyai hospital from bullet wounds sustained in an earlier murder attempt, because of a power struggle to seize control of smuggling activities.
Police believe that the killers, who stabbed Teck Leng more than 20 times at the hospital’s VIP ward, were also responsible for three other slayings; namely that of Teck Leng’s younger brother Teck You, 36, in Sabak Bernam on June 9, Kedah timber tycoon Khor Kok Koon whose body was riddled with more than 20 bullets on May 12 and a former Datuk in a Mafia-style execution in a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 3.
