Six Myanmar men nabbed over Bangladeshi murders

BENTONG: Greed led to a group of Myanmar men to abduct two Bangladeshi workers whose bodies were found in a jungle near Genting Highlands.

OCPD Supt Mansor Mohd Nor said the workers were abducted over a debt amounting to RM4,000 but the suspects demanded for more money.

"One of the victims was a construction site supervisor. His family had paid a total of RM 27,000 for his release but the suspects had asked for RM50,000.

"The two men were killed, thrown in a ravine and the bodies covered with leaves," Supt Mansor said.

Six Myanmars, aged between 22 and 34, have been remanded to assist in the investigations.

Supt Mansor said a friend to the victims, aged 20 and 29, had lodged a missing person's report on Nov 29 after they did not return from work.

"Following the report, police found one of the suspects' motorcycle and cap in a jungle near Genting Highlands some 30m down the hill from the main road," he added. (Courtesy of The Star Online)
