One of the men involved in the assault at a bak kut teh restaurant in Kepong last Thursday, 7 May, has been identified as the same suspect who allegedly slashed a victim with a cleaver two years ago
The suspect, 30-year-old memorial centre worker Wan Ken Fei, was charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court yesterday, 14 May, with voluntarily causing grievous hurt under Section 326 of the Penal Code.
Wan was jointly charged alongside carpenter Wong Weng Luen, 49, and technician Lai Kae Bin, 33. The trio claimed trial to assaulting a man after he reportedly stared at them at the restaurant.
Following the court proceedings, netizens discovered that Wan was also previously involved in an assault on 4 September 2024.
In that case, Wan, who was reported to have been working as a vegetable trader at the time, allegedly slashed then-24-year-old Muhammad Aidiel Zulhilmi Mohammad Yusri with a 32cm-long cleaver, reported the New Straits Times.
He was charged with two offences, causing grievous hurt and possessing a scheduled dangerous weapon in public, which carry prison sentences of more than 20 and 10 years, respectively.
