A MARRIED couple has been detained in connection with an incident where an elderly man was stabbed at a parking lot of a supermarket in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Kajang, Selangor yesterday.

Kajang police chief Mohd Zaid Hassan said the two, aged 51 and 45, were nabbed at about 1.30am today at Serdang Hospital and in Kuala Lumpur.

He said a report was lodged by a medical officer after the 71-year-old victim, who suffered injuries to his body and thigh, was brought to Serdang Hospital yesterday afternoon.

“The victim was brought to the hospital by a female friend, who is also the suspect’s wife, and he managed to tell the hospital staff that he was attacked at a supermarket in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn,” he said in a statement today.

“The victim, who suffered serious injuries to his right lung, right shoulder and thigh, succumbed to the injuries at 11.05pm yesterday.”
