Two security guards were hacked to death in a fight that broke out at Damansara Perdana construction site last night.

   

Both men, aged 20 and 26, were found dead at the scene with slash wounds on their bodies in the 8.20pm incident.

   

Petaling Jaya OCPD ACP Arjunaidi Mohammed said the fight started following an argument involving a security guard and several foreign workers at the site.

   

"One of them had an argument with several of the workers. He then called two of his friends who are also security guards but working in other areas.

   

"A group of 12 to 15 foreign workers, carrying sharp weapons, then attacked them," he told reporters at the scene today.

   

The other security guard managed to flee to safety, he added.

   

"The foreign workers had also left the area. We have picked up a security guard in the area and two Indonesian workers to have their statements taken," he said, adding that a manhunt was underway for the suspects.
