PORT DICKSON: Police have classified the case of a 28-year-old dental technician, who was found dead in his house at the Lukut health clinic quarters here Monday morning, as murder.
A post-mortem conducted on the victim, Mahusin Abd Rahim, at Tuanku Jaafar Hospital revealed that the victim died due to severe injuries on his head believed to be caused by hard object.
