AMPANG JAYA: Police arrested a man suspected of threatening his wife after she refused to give him money to buy drugs and possessing an air pistol here early yesterday morning (April 8).
Ampang Jaya district Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail, said earlier the 39-year-old suspect was reported to have knocked on the door of a house on Persiaran Saujana Ampang and demanded that his 40-year-old wife open the door around 1am.
