Tuaran folk told to be vigilant as manhunt begins

Wanted: A mugshot of the suspect known as Roy.

KOTA KINABALU: Folks in Tam­paruli, Tuaran, and its surrounding areas have been urged to keep an eye out for a possible armed man, who is on the run after he was believed to have hacked an Aus­tralian man.

The suspect, a Filipino known as Roy who is in his 30s, could still be armed with a Samurai sword which he allegedly used in the attack following a misunder­stan­ding at Kampung Ki­­woi Tamparuli on Thursday, said Tuaran police chief Deputy Supt Dzulbaharin Ismail.
