Man beats brother-in-law to death for waking him up

A MAN beat his brother-in-law to death with a broom and an umbrella for disturbing his sleep.

The 69-year-old aggressor, who had been staying at the brother-inlaw’s house in Ipoh for the past month, got upset after the victim woke him up at 2.15am on Wednesday and tried to throw him out of the house, reported Harian Metro.

Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Ali Tamby said the suspect then lodged a report claiming he and his grandchild were injured after being hit.

But after questioning, he confessed and brought the police to the house, where a body was found lying on the floor, said Asst Comm Mohd Ali.

He added that both men had been at loggerheads ever since the suspect moved into the house.
