A 40-year-old Malaysian man was arrested by police for his suspected involvement in the murder of his 76-year-old father, after doctors found injuries on the elderly man's body, consistent with those caused by blunt objects.

Serdang district police chief Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Muhamad Farid Ahmad said in a statement that the 40-year-old's actions came to light at about 3pm on Jan 19, after he brought his semi-conscious father to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz in Kuala Lumpur.
