Couple Beaten to Death in Order to Stop Smoking
Smoking is considered a potentially fatal habit, but what about not smoking? Could that be lethal as well?
Well, that was the result for a Malaysian couple that were beaten to death by four close family members in a ritual apparently intended to help one of them stop smoking.
Ku Chin Wah, the head of the police crime investigation department in the Malaysian capital said:
“Their heads were smashed on a table, and the couple was beaten with broomsticks and motorbike helmets at the house of a family member in Kuala Lumpur.”
The couple’s 14-year-old daughter was also injured and taken to hospital. One of the couple’s sons and three other relatives remain in custody, and according to police, four others have been released.
Mohamed Ibrahim Kader Mydin, 47, and his wife, Rosina Mydin Pillay, 41, never expected the reception they got when they arrived at a family member’s home for a visit. They were there to honor the celebrations marking the end of fasting during the Muslim month of Ramadan but were given the death penalty instead.
Mohamed Ibrahim was trying to give up cigarettes and his wife had a liver ailment. They trusted the relative who suggested that the couple undergo a ritual, which involved all family members joining forces to beat up the couple to rid them of their ailments.
Considering that the couple is now dead, it looks like the family plan to stop smoking and get rid of liver ailments really did work, didn’t it?

On the bright side, I’m sure they’ll never smoke again.

There are many reasons why a woman starts to smoke cigarettes and it is society what has made it really common for us to see woman smoking everywhere, but there are benefits of smoking, and Women smoking cigarettes look better to the eyes of some men

me? I hate smokers, I hate smoking, I hate cigars. I’m allergic to cigar smoke that it could kill me given the chance I was placed in a room filled with cigar smoke with no ventilation that would kill me in about 3-10Minutes or so.
But I won’t go to the extreme as to kill them all, jail them, for all I care.

We think you're scum too. But fortunately God doesn't think you're scum. I hope he changes your mind.

I'm a Malaysian and i've read this story via the media.It shows how stupidity of these family members were!Do they think they're god so they could simply smashed people to death just by helping the couple stop smoking?They were crazy in their mind!The best solution is to charge these culprits and send them to jail.
