Bride’s brother in wedding attack dies
By RASHITA A. HAMID & STEVEN DANIEL
KUALA LUMPUR: The younger brother of the bride in the botched wedding in Sungai Besi on Saturday died from a gunshot wound in the head.
The 23-year-old man was shot by a detective, who was a guest at the wedding. He died Sunday at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, said City CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Ku Chin Wah.
He said police have arrested the bride's father and another person who were in a group that gate-crashed the Hindu wedding at Desa Tasik Sports Complex moments before the bride and groom were to be married.
It is believed that the bride did not get the consent of her family and the group arrived with parang (machetes) and chains to force her to cancel the wedding.
The group of about six, including a woman, began shouting before they started attacking the guests.
The plainclothes detective identified himself as a policeman and warned the group to stop and fired several warning shots.
But they charged at him forcing him to open fire and a bullet hit the bride's younger brother.
