Melaka cops arrest seven suspects over mob killing in Jasin
He said in the incident at about 9pm, the 51-year-old victim died at the scene due to severe injuries. He had two previous crimes recorded under Section 377D of the Penal Code for committing gross indecency in a public place in 2003 and 2024.
"Based on early investigations, the victim is said to have committed an act of gross indecency at 7.26pm before he was chased and assaulted by several individuals.
"The victim tried to escape for about 200m, including a desperate leap into the river, before he was caught by the mob and beaten again," he said after officiating at the Melaka Schools Sports Council Athletics Championships at the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) in Durian Tunggal here on Monday (July 28).
He said seven men aged between 20s to 50s, including a Pakistani national, were remanded for seven days in the investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
In a separate case, Dzulkhairi said a motorcyclist in his 30s was remanded for three days for beating a man in his 20s in a fight near Bulatan Kancil in the Stadthuys compound at Banda Hilir on Sunday (July 27).
He said the incident occurred when the suspect and 17 of his biker friends were fined by the Melaka Historic City Council (MBMB) enforcement officers for violating the Vehicle Free Zone (ZBK) area.
He said MBMB enforcement officers had asked the group of motorcyclists to leave but they were ignored before they were issued summonses for ignoring council orders.
"The group led by the suspect then tore up the summonses and a confrontation broke out between them and another group of bikers.
"The victim, who was struck with a helmet and a wheel lock, was later rushed to the Melaka Hospital with minor injuries," he said.
Dzulkhairi said all 23 individuals involved were arrested between 9.30pm and 1am on Sunday but 22 of them were released on police bail while the suspect was remanded for three days.
The case is being investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting and Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant in the performance of his duties. – Bernama

Teenager pleads guilty to assaulting teacher
by AKMAR ANNUAR A 14-YEAR-OLD student pleaded guilty at the Magistrates' Court on July 30 to a charge of assaulting his teacher at a secondary school earlier this week. The incident, which occurred on July 28, involved the teenager — currently in a transition class — punching his teacher in the face following a disciplinary reprimand. The case has drawn public attention after a 38-second video of the altercation was widely circulated on social media. Magistrate Fatin Dayana Jalil postponed sentencing to Sept 11 to allow time for the Social Welfare Department (JKM) to prepare a character report. The boy was accompanied by both his parents during the closed-door proceedings. His mother appeared visibly distressed as they entered the courtroom. According to the charge, the student intentionally caused injury to the teacher at approximately 4.48pm on the school premises. The charge was framed under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both, upon conviction. Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Muhammad Syafiq Mohd Zulbahrin proposed bail be set at RM5,000, citing the seriousness of the offence and its widespread attention online. 'The case has gone viral and involves an assault on a teacher during school hours,' he said. However, defence counsel S Priyalatha requested a lower bail, stressing that the teenager is still in school and falls under the category of a young offender. 'My client is 14 years old, still in school and he is a juvenile under the law. I request a lower bail amount so as not to burden the family,' she told reporters outside the courtroom. The court subsequently allowed bail at RM1,000 with one surety. Kajang District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Naazron Abdul Yusof confirmed the arrest, saying that the altercation occurred after the teacher reprimanded the student for skipping physical education class. The teacher, a 29-year-old man, lodged a police report at 7.15pm the same day. Initial investigations revealed that the student was expected to be on the school field during the class session but was absent, prompting the confrontation.
