KUALA TERENGGANU:<\/strong> They obviously had never heard of the saying: “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”. <\/font><\/p>\n <\/table>\n

Police have arrested a man and are now looking for members of his gang and the man who hired them to beat up his estranged wife’s alleged lover — all because of the gang’s greed.<\/p>\n

Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, the gang of about 30 thugs barged into the Kampung Tok Jembal house of a woman who had been living apart from her husband for some time.<\/p>\n

There, they assaulted a 26-year-old man, an employee of the kindergarten run by the woman.<\/p>\n

While the assault went on, one of the gang members let it slip that the woman’s husband had hired them to do the deed.
<\/font> Despite pleas from the man and the woman that the former was just a kind of “foster brother” to the latter, the assault continued.<\/p>\n

The gang even assaulted the 42-year-old woman and her two children, aged 9 and 26.<\/p>\n

After a while, the gang took the man to a secluded spot and resumed the beating. <\/p>\n

At one point, they almost severed his index finger and it was then that victim, already weak and fearing for his life, came up with an idea.<\/p>\n

He offered the thugs more than what was being paid by the woman’s husband, and luckily for him, the trick worked.<\/p>\n

The group leader, driven by greed, released him at 4am, but not before telling the victim to close the deal in Bukit Kecil the next day.<\/p>\n

The victim immediately took the opportunity to report the matter to the police, who set up a trap.<\/p>\n

A gang member who turned up the next day for the money was arrested. <\/p>\n

Police are now looking for the other members of the group and also the woman’s husband, all of whom have gone into hiding following the incident.<\/p>\n

The wife, meanwhile, lodged a report at the Kuala Terengganu police headquarters the next day.-NST<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
