KUALA LUMPUR, A company supervisor is in intensive care at a hospital after being beaten unconscious last Saturday by a disgruntled worker and two accomplices.

The 28-year-old man suffered multiple blows to the head and hands during the assault, which took place at a workers’ hostel in Taman Ampang Utama here, and has been admitted to the Ampang Hospital, said Ampang Jaya Police Chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail.

He also said that following a report filed by the company director, the police picked up two men and a 16-year-old boy from Bandar Bukit Puchong and Taman Putra Perdana in Puchong, Selangor, on Sunday.

One of the suspects, a 21-year-old man, is believed to be the worker who assaulted the supervisor after being reprimanded over a disciplinary issue and reported to management for the loss of a cabinet at the hostel, he said.

‘The two other suspects, a 24-year-old man and the teenager, are believed to have joined the worker in the assault. All three suspects tested positive for drugs,’ he said, adding tha
t the teenager had dropped out of school after Form Two and was working at a restaurant.

Mohd Azam said the police obtained a seven-day remand order yesterday for the two men while the boy was remanded for a day for investigation under Section 326 of the Penal Code for causing grievous hurt.
