GEORGE TOWN: A Nepalese man was killed in a fall from the fourth floor of a flat building at Tingkat Mayang Pasir in Bayan Baru near here earlier yesterday.

Southwest district police chief Supt A.A Anbalagan said the body of Bot Sandip, 24, who worked as a salesperson at a supermarket in Bukit Jambul near here, found lying prone and bleeding at the parking lot at 5.20am.

“Based on the investigation, the victim visited a female friend’s unit on the fourth floor of the flat at 2.30am and the woman claimed to have been friends with the man for eight months as they both working at the same place,” he said here yesterday.

He said according to the woman, at 5am, her fiancé had turned up at her unit while the Nepalese man was still there. “The Nepalese man was said to have been shocked by the presence of the woman’s fiancé and was trying to escape through the kitchen door,” he said.
