KULIM: A man with a criminal record for attempted murder was arrested after going berserk and wrecking his sister’s car using a pair of nunchakus at a house in Taman Serai here yesterday.
Kulim district police chief, Superintendent Ahmad Nasir Jaafar, said the 49-year-old man came to his elder sister’s house at 7.40pm and flew into an inexplicable rage.
“The 60-year-old woman, upon seeing her brother’s behaviour, proceeded to lock the door to prevent a fight breaking out between him and her husband,
“The man became even more enraged and proceeded to destroy the woman’s possessions. He also smashed the woman’s car, a Proton Waja, using a pair of wooden nunchakus,” he said.
The woman lodged a police report, which led to the man’s arrest in Bukit Mertajam, Penang at 4pm.
“Preliminary checks showed that the man had a criminal record for drugs as well as attempted murder. He did not admit to being involved in the incident.
“Further investigations will be carried out after remand proceedings are completed. The case is being investigated under Section 506/427 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and mischief by causing damage.”
