Malaysian couple beaten to death with crash helmets in “stop smoking” ritual

[Bob]

A Malaysian couple has been beaten to death by family members using crash helmets and broomsticks, in a bizarre ritual to make them give up smoking.

The couple had their heads smashed on a table, and were then beaten with the helmets and broomsticks at a house in Kuala Lumpur.

Ku Chin Wah, the head of the police crime investigation department, told Malaysia's official Bernama news agency "A 23-year-old male relative 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."

On the plus side, the couple are no longer smoking…

I have always said that smoking is bad for your health. Here is direct proof that smoking leads to premature death!

How long before this becomes twisted to "helmets caused death" and gets paraded by the anti-helmet brigade.

WTF! this is the most bizzare way to stop smoking! Not overly easy to use the helmet as a bat though....

Don't underestimate it. If you've got nothing else a helmet can do damage...
