Perak Deputy Chief Police Officer Datuk Zakaria Yusof said G. Balasunderam, 57, was attacked at his house in Desa Rishah at about 6pm and died at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital at 9pm.

“As the lawyer alighted from the car upon reaching home, four men armed with knives attacked him. The lawyer, who was badly injured, fell to the ground,” he said.
