KUALA LUMPUR : Four Indonesians have been arrested over the gruesome murder of an Indonesian man whose severed genitals were found next to his body, police said Thursday.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was found dead at his flat in the northern state of Penang Tuesday, after neighbours who heard a loud quarrel earlier that day alerted police.
"We found the man lying in a pool of blood with multiple slash wounds, and the severed private parts were next to his body," Mohan Singh, acting district police chief, told AFP.
He said the case was being treated as a murder and police were attempting to establish the victim's identity and his immigration status.
"We arrested one Indonesian lady on Tuesday, and this morning we arrested three other Indonesian men who were staying in the flat. All of them are believed to be involved in the murder," Singh said.
The Indonesian woman was found injured in another bedroom of the same flat when the police arrived on Tuesday.
There are nearly two million Indonesian workers in Malaysia, including 800,000 who have travelled illegally from the neighbouring country.
