JOHOR BARU: A brutal syndicate posing as insurance agents has been uncovered in Kulai, following the murder of a 38-year-old man last month to claim a life insurance payout of RM500,000.
He added that the syndicate would then take out a life insurance policy in the victim's name without their knowledge, and then name another unknown individual as the beneficiary. Comm Kumar revealed that at 4.40am on May 6, the victim, riding a motorcycle, was rammed by two cars and another motorcycle on Jalan Senai-Seelong in Kulai.
Comm Kumar added that the post-mortem report then revealed injuries on the victim's body that were inconsistent with road accident injuries. "After the victim's death, the suspects filed an insurance claim through an agent who was also a syndicate member.
