TWO men killed a murder suspect in his home and left his brain on the plate he was eating dinner from, Malaysia Nanban reported.
The dead 24-year-old man was a gangster in Tamil Nadu.
He was in a murder trial for killing another gang member but was out on bail.
The gangster was reportedly having dinner at home when he was confronted by two unknown men.
He tried to flee but they managed to slash him to death with knives.
Not satisfied with merely killing the man, they carved open his skull, extracted his brain and left it on the plate.
Police found out that the attackers were the sons of a woman whom the gangster clashed with a few days earlier.
Apparently, he had torn off the woman’s clothes during the altercation.
Her two sons are believed to have sought revenge.
> A 41-year-old Indian entrepreuner has shown that it’s never too late to start a business when he opened a yong tau foo stall in Kuala Lumpur, the same daily reported.
He picked up the skill from a Chinese vendor before setting up his own stall about a year ago.
