The daily also reported that a 59-year-old man hanged himself with his belt at the gate of a woman’s house in Setapak Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, on Monday night after she rejected his advances.
The man was believed to have taken his own life at 11.40pm due to frustration that the 51-year-old woman would not return his feelings although they had known each other for a long time.
Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Zakaria Pagan said the woman, who was at home then, was unaware of the incident and was shocked to find the man’s body dangling from her front gate later.
