Trio held for murder of shop owner

PETALING JAYA: Three men were arrested in connection with the murder of a wholesale mart owner who was gunned down outside his shop.

Aged between 38 and 49, they were arrested at different locations in Subang Jaya within 24 hours after Lim Wei Seng, 54, was shot dead.

Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the men, who had criminal records, had been remanded until Monday to assist in investigation.

He said police were still looking for several other people. However, they have yet to ascertain the motive of the murder.

Wong was about to leave after closing shop at Taman Pinggiran USJ here at 11.30pm on Tuesday when two men arrived in a motorcycle.

The pillion rider got off the machine and fired two shots at Wong’s head, killing him at once.

Wong was with his female business partner then. However, she was unharmed.

Family members, when met at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre mortuary, declined to speak to the press.
