Perak police have set up a special team with the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman to investigate the murder of a lawyer in Ipoh two days ago.
Perak police chief Zulkifli Abdullah said police viewed the case seriously as it involved someone who was very respected in the community.
Zulkifli said the special team would be headed by Perak CID chief Dzuraidi Ibrahim and Ipoh CID chief.
He added that initial investigations revealed that the murder may have been related to his work but police would investigate the case from all possibilities but police have yet to arrest the two suspects who slashed the lawyer.
During the 5pm incident on Tuesday, the lawyer, G Balasunderam, 57, who was returning home from work was slashed repeatedly by two men wearing masks, outside his house in Taman Desa Rishah, Buntong.
The victim who was later admitted to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital, died at 9pm.
