Two employees working at Destiny Pub in Jalan Duta, KL were hacked to death by a group of youths on Wednesday night, 6 July
Another employee was also seriously injured and he is in critical condition following the attack.
Bernama reported that six youths, who were wearing face masks and armed with machete attacked car jockey S Mogan, 21, female cashier R Mythurai, 23, and a disc jockey identified only as Allen, who were seated on the sidewalk of the pub in Publika Solaris Dutamas 1.
According to Sentul police chief ACP R Munusamy, Mogan and Mythurai were pronounced dead on admission to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital after they sustained slash wounds to the head and body.
The gruesome incident reportedly unfolded at approximately 11pm when the six men alighted from two vehicles that had stopped outside the pub
One of the attackers started attacking Mogan who was seated on the sidewalk of the pub, who then slashed the victim while his other accomplices attacked Mythurai and Allen.
"CCTV footage showed that one of the suspects attacked the victim while the others ran into the pub, which had no CCTV," ASP Stephen Genason from the Sentul IPD was quoted as saying by FMT.

Police believe that the attack was triggered by a fight that broke out among a group of friends last week

The management later lodged a police report against three men who started the brawl. Two of them were arrested and charged while the other went on the run, he said.
"We believe the group returned on Wednesday to attack the management because of the police report," he said.
