BUKIT MERTAJAM: The Taman Nagasari neighbourhood in Prai, where hundreds of foreign workers live alongside local residents, was shaken by news of the gruesome murder of three Myanmar nationals.

The bodies of factory workers Naing Win, 28, and Kyaw Hoe, 33, were found half-naked in a pool of blood at the porch of a double-storey terrace house, while the body of another Myanmar national, aged 24, was found outside the premises.

Naing Win and Kyaw Hoe were believed to be taking a bath at the porch to avoid queuing up for the bathroom inside the house when they were attacked.

Another Myanmar factory worker, aged 33, sustained rib and hand injuries and was sent to hospital for treatment.
