The chief of police in Pahang, Datuk Abdul Jalil Hassan, said that the incident took place around 1.20 am and it was believed that the victim had just left a nightclub with his 47-year-old friend. FYI, both of them are from Johor, and they were in Kuantan for a business dealing.
Datuk Abdul Jalil was quoted by Sinar Harian as saying,
“After hearing the gunshots, his friend ran away while the victim managed to drive the car to get some help. It is believed that he meant to drive a hospital. Maybe the victim couldn’t make it to the hospital and stopped nearby a pharmacy.”
“The people found the victim there and offered help. However, he was declared dead at the hospital and his corpse was sent for a post mortem.”
