By News Desk in Johor Baru/The Star | ANN – Sun, Jul 3, 2011Johor Baru (The Star/ANN) - It is common to fight over the use of the toilet but for two friends it ended in tragedy.
An Indonesian stabbed his best friend to death after they argued over the toilet in a rented house in Kampung Bakar Batu in Malaysia on Friday before fleeing.
It is learnt that in the 6.30am incident, the victim, known as Juli, 37, had been using the toilet when his friend, who wanted to bathe scolded him.
It is understood that the friend was annoyed and had knocked on the toilet door because he was taking a long time.
Both men then got into an argument before the friend took a vegetable knife and stabbed the victim several times.
Johor Baru (South) police department chief Asst Comm Zainuddin Yaacob said they had launched a manhunt to find the suspect.
"We believe that he is still in the state," he said, urging those with information to contact the police hotline at 07-2212 999 or lodge a report at the nearest station.
In another case, a factory manager was shot in the back when he was outside his furniture factory in Taman Sri Plentong industrial area here.
The victim, identified as Chung Fook Kiong, 45, was shot in the back by a man riding a motorcycle when he got out of his car at 9am yesterday.
However, Chung managed to grab the attacker and a scuffle ensued.
The suspect then pistol-whipped Chung before fleeing.
Passers-by called for help and the victim was sent to the Sultan Ismail Hospital for treatment.
