JOHOR BAHRU: A chemical engineer was found dead with injuries to his right wrist and right leg at his house in Taman Scientex, near here, on Sunday morning.
Seri Alam district police chief Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said an initial investigation showed that the 28-year-old had lost his temper at the mosque near his house, when he found its door closed, the night before.
“A check on the closed-circuit television (CCTV) recording found the victim had punched the glass door twice until it broke,” he said in a statement, adding that his hands were covered in blood.
According to Sohaimi, the man’s sister, who lived nearby, said he was believed to have been depressed because he could not visit his family in Kuala Berang, Terengganu, for the past six months.
The body was sent to the Sultan Ismail Hospital for a post-mortem.
