A man beheaded his enemy’s five-year-old son in what The Star newspaper reported as a result of a feud between two families.
The incident took place in Lahad Datu in the east coast of Sabah, the Malaysian state in northern Borneo, on Wednesday.
The boy’s head was allegedly chopped off by his father’s enemy, who then placed it in a bucket before fleeing the scene with his wife and daughter at 4pm on Wednesday, the report says.
Lahad Datu acting district police chief Deputy Supt Lee Chee Yong said yesterday that police were looking for the 27-year-old suspect, who was living in the same house as the victim and his parents.
“Our investigations indicate that the parents of the boy and the suspect had a longstanding feud,” he said.
The boy’s parents were not at home during the incident.

Yes. I read that some 2/3 weeks ago.
I actually felt sickness rising in my throat becase of what I imagined and I was reading news before breakfast.
When I went to the site, not the Star it was another paper for Malaysia that reported it. Two/three weeks ago now. I remember thinking OMG I can’t make a report on that for my visitors knowing how it made me feel.
I hope they caught who did that. Cruelty to children is worldwide and totally out of control.
