MALAYSIA: Malaysian police have arrested 33 Indonesian workers in
connection with a bloody weekend attack that killed three people,
including a small child, reports said on Wednesday.

The suspects were arrested during a six-hour police operation
at Kampung Asli Kecil and Kampung Jaya Sepakat near the town of
Banting, district police chief Shah Gzali Khan told The Star

They were arrested for the murders of Mohamad Asidar, 20,
Affendi Ali, 30 and his 18-month-old daughter Nurul Izati, who
were hacked to death on Sunday, he said.
