“Police also seized several pieces of evidence which included an iron rod, a crowbar, a grey-coloured boxer, and a mobile phone,’ he said, adding the two Myanmar nationals were also arrested for abetment in the case.

All the suspects will be remanded today under Sections 392/397 and 354 of the Penal Code and Section 6 (1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63.
