Malaysian police shoot dead three Indonesian suspected burglars

Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian police on Monday shot dead three Indonesian men armed with machetes who were believed to have broken into a house, a news report said.

The suspects, aged 20 to 30, had allegedly broken into a house in the central state of Pahang when neighbors alerted the police, state criminal investigations chief T Narenasagaran was quoted as saying by the official Bernama news agency.

Narenasagaran said police spotted a grey car in the area and tailed the vehicle for a short distance before ordering it to stop.

"However, it sped off and skidded and landed at a hillside," he was quoted as saying. "Three men armed with machetes got off the car and tried to attack the policemen."

"The police fired at them in self-defense," Narenasagaran said.

Police found the men were in possession of four machetes, a necklace, four rings, a mobile phone, a metal cutter and a knuckle duster.
