KOTA KINABALU: Police arrested a man after he shot his brother-in-law in the crotch thinking he was a wild boar during a hunting misadventure in Sabah’s northern Kota Marudu district.
Kota Marudu district police chief Deputy Supt Mohd Isa Yusof said Jimmy Lansaluang, 38, suffered gunshot injuries to his crotch area and inner thighs in the incident that occurred at a forest area in Melangkap Darat at about 3.30pm Tuesday.
He said Lansaluang's condition was reported to be stable but he was transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital here for further treatment after his 32-year-old brother-in-law rushed him to the district hospital immediately after the shooting.
Isa said that the suspect, who surrendered to police, told them that he was hunting with a bakakuk (homemade shotgun) when he thought he saw a wild boar foraging in the forest area.
“The suspect only realised that it was his brother-in-law when he heard human shrieks,” Isa said, adding that Lansaluang had gone to the forest to gather rattan.
However, police are still looking for the bakakuk that is believed to have been buried in the forest area by the suspect before he surrendered himself.
