Teenager bashed to death for telling group to stop drinking beer at promenade

GEORGE TOWN: A teenager was killed after he was assaulted by a group of men at the IJM seafront promenade in Sungai Pinang early Wednesday.

The tragic incident took place after the deceased, 19, apparently told the men not to be a nuisance and drink beer at the promenade.

It was then the four men began attacking him with crash helmets.

The teenager, identified as Ameer Mustaqim Naharuddin, a cleaner at Universiti Sains Malaysia here, died on the spot.

Several eyewitnesses immediately alerted the police over the incident, which occurred around 2.40am.
