KUALA LUMPUR: A college student died after being stabbed in the head and hand in Wangsa Maju here last night. Lee Khian Yip, 18, of Tunku Abdul Rahman College, was attacked by two men who approached him on a motorcycle as he and a friend were walking back to their hostel in TAR Villa. Sentul police chief Asst Comm Mohd Rodzi Ismail said the murder happened at 8.35pm after the two students had had their dinner at a nearby food stall. Police believed it was a robbery that went wrong as the victim's wallet was missing although his handphone was not taken, ACP Mohd Rodzi told reporters at the scene. According to Khian Yip's friend, said ACP Mohd Rodzi, although the victim was bleeding profusely, he managed to call his mother at the family home in Ipoh before he died. The body of the first-year accountancy student was sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital. ACP Mohd Rodzi urged those with information on the incident to contact the nearest police station. – Bernama ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear friends, if you are living nearby, be it in Desa Setapak (the 3-storey terrace houses beside the Wangsa Maju LRT Station), or TAR Villa, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....never walk alone the side road along the houses and the LRT route from the LRT station to TAR Villa. If you must, use the main road under the LRT instead. For those staying in the inner side of Desa Setapak, use the main road along the terrace houses inside. And do keep in mind that always be alert, and walk in the opposite direction of the road. At least you can see who's coming towards you, and you get the time to evade if you hear bikes coming. It's not the safest though. KL's safety sux anyway. Do be careful wherever you are. Terence ps.
