A security guard at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang shot dead his two colleagues after an argument over a "sleeping on the job" remark.
Selangor CID acting chief ACP Omar Mammah said the dead were identified as P Mailvanagam, 47, of Kuala Lumpur and S
Gunasilan, 22, of Taman Sentosa in Klang.
The 37-year-old suspect was angry when one of them made a remark about him sleeping on the job.
A security guard at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang shot dead his two colleagues after an argument over a "sleeping on the job" remark.
Selangor CID acting chief ACP Omar Mammah said the dead were identified as P Mailvanagam, 47, of Kuala Lumpur and S
Gunasilan, 22, of Taman Sentosa in Klang.
He said the 37-year-old suspect was angry when one of them made a remark about him sleeping on the job.
"An argument ensued between the suspect and his colleagues. He then fired two shots from a pump gun, hitting each of them in the chest," he said.
The victims collapsed and died on the spot in the incident at the hospital's car park at 5.30am, he said, adding that the trio were on a night shift.
Omar said the suspect, from Sabah, turned himself in at the hospital's police beat base soon after the incident.
He said initial investigations found that the three had never been involved in argument among themselves prior to the incident.
The victims' bodies had been sent to the hospital for post mortem, he said, adding that police were investigating the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
Suspect looked 'normal'
Meanwhile, Gunasilan's mother M Rajeswari, 37, who is also a security guard at the hospital, said she was on duty at the maternity ward on the hospital's first floor when she was told of the incident at about 6.25am.
"I was told there was an accident. When I went to the car park area, I saw my son's dead body. I don't know (who) shot him. The last time I saw him was when he came to see me for some food at 12.30am," she said.
Security guard Zulkarnain Saad, 27, who was on duty at the car park at that time said prior to the incident the suspect came to see him and asked where his supervisor was.
"I told him 'I don't know' and then he said goodbye and went into the hospital building. Not long after that I heard two gun shots," he said.
The hospital's chief security officer Abd Ghani Abd Rahman, 37, said he was at the guard room when he heard the blasts which he thought were from fire crackers.
"Shortly after that, the suspect, holding a pump gun, came to see me and said he had shot someone.
"I didn't believe him but I went to the car park area nonetheless. When I saw the bodies I rushed to the police beat base to inform them of the incident.
"The man looked normal when he came to see me. I have never heard of any problem among them," he said, adding that the suspect had been working at the hospital since the past three months.
