Man suffers head injury trying to avenge seven-year-dispute with village buddy

KOTA KINABALU: Simmering bad blood between two village buddies from a fight during a wedding ceremony seven years ago ended on Thursday (May 26) with one of them suffering severe head injury from a blow of a machete.

The 26-year-old victim who spotted his "buddy" in the town area decided to confront him but the situation turned against him when his "buddy" whipped out a parang to attack him outside a hotel in the Langkon Commercial Centre at about 6.30pm on Thursday (May 26).
