KUALA LUMPUR: Two more suspects are expected to be charged at the Telok Datok magistrate’s court today in connection with the murders of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others.
Sources close to the prosecution said the two male suspects were currently detained at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters and would likely be slapped with the same charge brought against four other suspects on Wednesday, Bernama reported.
The remand order issued against them on Sept 9 by the magistrate’s court here expires today.
On Wednesday, lawyer N. Pathmanabhan, 41, and farm workers T. Thilaiyalagan, 19, R. Matan, 20, and R. Khatavarayan, 30, were charged with murdering Sosilawati, 47, her driver Kamaruddin Shamsuddin, 44, CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, and lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, at Lot 2001, Jalan Tanjung Layang, Tanjung Sepat, Banting, Selangor, between 8.30pm and 9.45pm on Aug 30.
Two men and a woman detained in connection with the case including the younger brother of Pathmanabhan had been released on police bail.
A total of nine people were detained by police since Sept 12 in connection with the case.
In another development, Malaysian police are believed to have questioned missing Indian millionaire A. Muthuraja’s second wife S. Usharani and an Indian businessman in Chennai yesterday.
When contacted, Usharani who was on the way to the Malaysian High Commission to be questioned at 2pm (4.30pm Malaysian time), said she did not know why she was being summoned.
However, sources say the two are being questioned as a follow-up to a police report lodged by Muthuraja’s youngest brother Dr Kasi Viswanathan at the Klang district police Commercial Crimes Department in March as well as his statement recorded there recently.
Dr Kasi had lodged a report that his family had been fleeced of money by certain individuals claiming that Muthuraja was under police detention and would be released if a certain amount of money was paid.
