LAHAD DATU: Two foreigners were detained for allegedly causing injury to a man at Kampung Epil, on April 3.

District Acting Police Chief, Supt Jimmy Panyau, said the duo were detained by police at Kampung Tanah Rata, Kunak, for investigation following the incident police believe stemmed from the suspects’ sexual harassing statements against the victim’s wife.
