GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): A constable from the Dato Keramat Police Station was killed in a crash while chasing a suspect at Jalan Utama here, early Saturday (April 17) morning.

Timur Laut district police chief ACP Soffian Santong said Muhammad Iqbal Mazlan, 20, together with two other policemen were patrolling around Jalan Scotland at about 1am before they spotted a man riding a motorcycle in a suspicious manner.

"The policemen pursued the man until Jalan Utama and as Muhammad Iqbal approached him, the suspect rammed into his motorcycle, causing the victim to fall and hit his head on the curb,” he told reporters at the Penang Hospital here, Saturday night. "The suspect has six previous records involving drugs and five criminal cases. He will be remanded tomorrow and the case is investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder and Section 186 of the same code for obstructing public servants in discharging their duties,” he said.

Penang Police chief Datuk Sahabudin Abd Manan was also present at the hospital to pay his last respect to Muhammad Iqbal.
