| Man shot dead in drive-by shooting at Taman Sri Serdang flats Posted: 03 Apr 2013 09:30 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 – A man was gunned down in a drive-by shooting outside the Taman Sri Serdang flats here last night, in what appeared to have been fuelled by revenge. Bernard Ooi Boh Beng, 39, died on the spot as two gunmen cruising in a silver Proton Waja fired 15 shots at him, nine of which struck the victim. He sustained six gunshot wounds in the chest, and one each in the abdomen and left hand. The gunmen, believed to be contract killers, escaped in the car which was driven by an accomplice in the incident about 9.30pm. Serdang police chief ACP Abd Razak Elias said initial investigations revealed that the motive of the attack on Ooi, a bachelor, was revenge. He said this theory was based on the number of shots fired at the victim who had been jobless for the past year. "The victim had left a restaurant and was walking towards his unit at the flats when he was fired upon 15 times by two people in a silver Proton Waja. "The car immediately sped off. We believe there were more than two people in the car," he said today. Abd Razak said the police were scrutinising Ooi's background to determine if he had a criminal background, adding that he had stayed alone at the flat unit. Ooi had previously worked at a company which specialised on home renovation. The police have recorded several statements from witnesses at the scene of the shooting. – Bernama |
| Two guilty of plot to kill British singer Joss Stone Posted: 03 Apr 2013 08:55 AM PDT
Junior Bradshaw, 32, and Kevin Liverpool, 35, planned to behead the singer before throwing her body in a river near her rural home in southwest England, prosecutors said. Bradshaw and Liverpool had a deep hatred for Stone because she had performed at a charity event organised by Princes William and Harry, and she attended the wedding of William and the Duchess of Cambridge, formerly Kate Middleton. Prosecutors said handwritten notes found at the men's flat described Britain's Queen Elizabeth and Stone as "devils" and talked of "destroying the queen's system". Liverpool was jailed for life with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months after being convicted of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to rob following a three-week trial at Exeter Crown Court, southwest England. Bradshaw will be sentenced later, the Press Association reported. Both men had denied the charges. "You intended to rob her and kill her and dump her body in the river, according to your words, and then leave the country with your accomplice Junior Bradshaw," Judge Francis Gilbert told Liverpool. The prosecution alleged they planned to attack Stone at her home in Devon in June 2011. They were arrested nearby and police found a Samurai sword, three knives, two hammers, masks, gloves and a hosepipe in their car. The prosecution claimed the two of them had scouted Stone's home, although no direct forensic evidence was found to link the defendants to any of the weapons. — Reuters (gambar) |
