    BUKIT MERTAJAM: An Indonesian factory worker was found beaten to death, following an argument with three Myanmar workmates at a shop in Jalan Permatang Rawa here yesterday.

    The victim was identified as Purawadi, 24, who had a permit to work at the onion processing factory where he was employed for nine months.

    The police have detained the factory manager and three workers to facilitate investigations into the murder.
     
    State Criminal Investigation Department chief SAC Mazlan Kesah said today, Purawadi's assailants were armed with an iron pipe, knife and wood when they confronted him.
     
    He said the victim was earlier, drinking at the shop with three Myanmar workmates before a quarrel broke out.
     
    He said Purawadi fled from the shop before he was attacked in his room at a workers' quarters, about 80 metres away.
     
    Mazlan urged those with information on the assailants to contact the investigating officer at 04-5382222. -- BERNAMA
