PETALING JAYA: A foreigner, who allegedly caused the death of a local man, 57, at a nightclub in Sea Park on March 22 during an altercation, will be charged tomorrow.

Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Jaafar @ Ismail said the remand of the suspect and his friend had expired and police had obtained orders from the Attorney General-Chambers to charge one of them.

"The foreigner is expected to be charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in Petaling Jaya tomorrow.

"His friend, a local, was released upon investigation," Shahrulnizam said when contacted.

Earlier, it was reported that a quarrel had broken out between two patrons of an entertainment outlet about 1am, before one of them was killed from a punch thrown by the other.

Initially, police had classified the case as murder, but following the reply from A-GC, the case has been reclassified.
