KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 -- A man and his father have been arrested over the murder of a 37-year-old e-hailing driver, whose body was found in Taman Pandan Perdana, Ampang, on June 22.

Ampang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said police initially classified the case as sudden death after receiving a call from a medical assistant at Hospital Kuala Lumpur at 7.16pm that evening.

Police later confirmed the death at the scene, but a post-mortem at Ampang Hospital revealed necrotising soft tissue infections caused by skin and skeletal injuries, indicating foul play.

The victim's body was discovered inside the home of one of the suspects, and the case was reclassified as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
