Loan shark suspected in pig head incidents


SEREMBAN: Police are probing two incidents where pig heads were placed in front of a house in Kuala Pilah and a shop in Tampin.

Negri Sembilan police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said police received two reports on the cases on Thursday (March 5).

“Preliminary investigations revealed that both incidents occurred at around 1am on Thursday and that the two victims are related.

“The motive is believed to be a personal dispute between the victims and a suspect believed to be an unlicensed moneylender,” he said in a statement.

DCP Alzafny said the suspect was believed to have resorted to the act to pressure the victims into settling their debts.

“We believe the same ah long who had earlier thrown paint at the shop in Tampin was responsible for this,” he said.

He said the cases are being investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code for intentionally insulting a person with the intent to provoke a breach of the peace, and Section 506 for criminal intimidation.

He urged those with information on the cases to contact the police.

“The public is also advised not to make unsubstantiated claims about the incidents that could disrupt public order,” he added.
