Road bully: Three suspects remanded for four days

Kuching Magistrate's court today issued a four-day remand order against three men suspected of involvement in a bullying incident on Jalan Demak here yesterday.

The order against the three suspects, aged between 21 and 27, was issued by the Registrar of the Kuching Magistrates Court, Bryan Mason.

Earlier, a video recording of two of the suspects hitting the complainant violently went viral after the third suspect uploaded the 56-second video on social networking site Facebook.

Two of them were remanded after they allegedly hit a man using a helmet while the other suspect had allegedly recorded the incident using his mobile phone.

The trio were arrested by police early Tuesday morning at approximately 2am after a house was raided in Kampung Bako, here.

The raid was made after the cops received a report from a complainant alleging that he was beaten after a misunderstanding between them.

According to the investigation officer, Inspector Wan Amir Wan Mohamad, the three suspects will be investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code which carries a maximum prison sentence of three years or a fine or whipping, or both upon conviction.

Police convinced more arrests will be made because it was believed there are several more suspects involved.

In the event that happen at 3:30 pm Monday, a 56 second video shows two men beating a man by using a helmet became viral on social media.

The three suspects are expected to be arraigned in the court on Monday.
