Free Malaysia Today reported that he was approached by the men on two motorcycles when he had just about finished his lunch and was about to enter his Toyota Vellfire that was parked across the restaurant.
Sadly, his wife and young son saw everything that happened next and could only scream from the five-foot way of the restaurant.

A forensic team found eight bullet casings at the site. The police later identified the deceased as Murali Shunmugam, whose last known address was in Bukit Selambau, Kedah.
