Klang - Police arrested a man over the murder of a 28-year-old who was beaten to death and burnt outside a restaurant in Lorong Kopi Pandamaran early Monday morning.

ACP Mohamad said the victim was found lying motionless on the road about 10m from the restaurant when a police patrol car arrived.
Police, who found kerosene at the scene arrested one of the suspects and have launched a hunt for another suspect.
