S. Korean student dies two weeks after assault in Malaysia
PETALING JAYA
A 24-year-old South Korean student, who was assaulted with a hockey stick two weeks ago, died on Friday without regaining consciousness.
Lim Jong Yong, a hotel management student at a local private college here, had been warded at Sunway Medical Centre after the incident on June 25.
According to sources, Lim was reversing his car out of his apartment's parking lot in Kelana Jaya when he apparently hit another car.
The other driver got out and an argument ensued, leading to the man allegedly attacking Lim.
Lim suffered head injuries. The attacker, who was with a friend, sped off in his car.
Sources said Lim's twin brother, who tried to come to Lim's aid, was also hurt after being beaten.
A security guard, who witnessed the incident, noted the registration number of the attacker's car and called the police.
Police arrested a 35-year-old suspect in Cheras the following day.
Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar, when contacted, said police were intensifying their search for the other man.
Lim's father, Lim Jue Kyu, 51, who was at the Sunway Medical Centre yesterday, said his other son, who also studied hotel management at the same college, had informed him about the incident immediately.
He said Jong Yong had undergone surgery at the hospital but never came out of a coma that he went into two days after the operation.
“We will cremate his body here and send his ashes back to Seoul,” he added.
