KANOWIT, March 27: Police have apprehended two men yesterday after they threatened to kill a lorry driver with a shotgun over an extramarital affair.
Kanowit district police chief, DSP Tega Bilong said the arrest of the two men aged 45 and 55 was made at 10pm after the 55-year-old victim lodged a report.
He said that the victim claimed that while on his way home at Nanga Bat at about 5pm on March 25, a car suddenly pulled over and stopped abruptly in front of his motorcycle.
