KUALA LUMPUR: Four men have been arrested in connection with a scuffle at a nightclub in Mont Kiara, which led to the death of a man.

City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Rusdi Mohd Isa said the four, aged between 21 and 22, were arrested in Kajang after police managed to identify those involved in the incident, which took place early Saturday.

“We are still looking for others to facilitate investigations into the death of Muhammad Jeffri Abu Bakar.

“We are also still investigating the motive behind the incident,” he said when contacted yesterday.

Muhammad Jeffri, 22, who was with two friends, died from a stab wound after an altercation at the nightclub.

He had got into a fight with an unknown man at about 4am.

It is believed that the fight started after a shoulder bump occurred while they were dancing.

Witnesses claim that about 20 people attacked the victim and his friends, with Muhammad Jeffri being stabbed with a knife in the right side of the chest.

One of his friends was also injured in the head and chest while the other friend was not hurt in the altercation.

Muhammad Jeffri was rushed to Hospital Kuala Lumpur but died from his wounds there at about 9am on Saturday.

It is believed that his injured friend was sent to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital but refused treatment and left.
