Petrol station murder: Victim’s wife collects body

JOHOR BARU: The body of the Jalan Sri Pelangi petrol station murder victim has been released and collected by his wife.

The deceased’s wife, a Vietnamese, collected the body at around 2.10pm on Monday after waiting at the Hospital Sultan Ismail mortuary since before 10am.

She was seen crying as the undertakers loaded her husband’s coffin into a white hearse.

It is not yet known where the body would be brought to for the wake and funeral.

The 44-year-old deceased, whose nickname is believed to have been “Ah Chiu”, was stabbed in an attack by four suspects, who then ran over him twice in their white BMW, at the petrol station in Taman Pelangi at 7.30pm on Sunday.

He had parked his Volkswagen Polo at the petrol station to check his tyres when the suspects got out and immediately attacked him.

A video of the horrific attack, taken by an onlooker, has since gone viral.
