The suspects had planned for the murder to look like a fatal accident, said the police.

JOHOR BAHRU: A brutal syndicate posing as insurance agents has been uncovered in Kulai, following the murder of a 38-year-old man in May to claim a life insurance payout of RM500,000 .

He added that the syndicate would then take out a life insurance policy in the victim’s name without their knowledge, and then name another unknown individual as the beneficiary. Commissioner Kumar revealed that at 4.40am on May 6, the victim, riding a motorcycle, was rammed by two cars and another motorcycle on Jalan Senai-Seelong in Kulai.

Commissioner Kumar added that the post-mortem report revealed injuries on the victim’s body that were inconsistent with road accident injuries. “After the victim’s death, the suspects filed an insurance claim through an agent who was also a syndicate member. Police investigations confirmed that the motive was a fraudulent insurance claim. This is the first case of its kind in the state.
