Man beaten to death by public after exposing himself at supermarket parking lot
ALOR GAJAH: A 51-year-old man was assaulted to death last night by members of the public after he had allegedly committed sexual harassment by exposing his private parts in public. The man, who is married, was found dead in front of a kindergarten in Jasin Bestari, Jasin, near here, in the 7.26pm incident. Melaka police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said the police received a report on the incident at around 9pm. He added preliminary investigations showed that the incident began when the man was seen exposing his private parts to the public at the parking area of a supermarket. Members of the public, who noticed the man's behaviour, gave chase. "The man was then chased by the crowd and fled towards Jasin Bestari. "He was caught after a scuffle. Initially, two men assaulted him before he managed to escape into a bushy area and jumped into a river to cross it," he told reporters after launching the 2025 Melaka State Sports Council Athletics Championship at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) Stadium. Dzulkhairi said that after crossing the river, the man was caught and beaten by several other men who heard cries from the public calling for help to detain him. He said the victim, who sustained injuries, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel. His body was taken to the Jasin Hospital Forensics Unit for a post-mortem. Following the incident, police arrested seven people, including a Pakistani national, aged between 15 and their 50s, to assist in investigations. "All seven have been remanded for seven days starting today, and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. "We urge anyone with information to come forward and assist the investigation by contacting Investigating Officer Assistant Superintendent Mohamad Ehsan Abu Bakar at 016-520 9501," he said, while also advising the public not to take the law into their own hands. In a related development, Dzulkhairi said investigations showed that the deceased had two prior convictions for acts of gross indecency under Section 377D of the Penal Code in 2023 and 2024.
