SHAH ALAM, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- Police on Wednesday warned Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin that a warrant of arrest will be issued against him if he continued to avoid assisting investigations into the murder of cosmetics millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya.
Selangor chief police officer (CPO) Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said Shamsul Iskandar should come to the police if he really had evidence to support his allegations about the murder.
"However, till today he has not come forward and cannot be reached on his handphone. We are giving him ample opportunity to come an assist the police failing which we will invoke Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code for a warrant of arrest to be issued against him," he told reporters after receiving contributions of a mobile police station and three motorcycles from Sime Darby Property Bhd at the Selangor police headquarters here.
The vehicles worth RM617,250 were handed over by Sime Darby Property Bhd managing director, Tunku Datuk Putra Badlishah Tunku Annuar. Prior to this the media had reported that on Sept 13, Shamsul Iskandar, through the Selangor TV news portal, had alleged that police were involved in the murder of Sosilawati and three others.
Sosilawati, 47, her driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, were killed, their bodies burnt and the ashes thrown into rivers in the vicinity of Ladang Gadong after they went missing on Aug 30 following a trip to Banting over a land deal.
Police have picked up eight suspects, among them two lawyers, in connection with the case.
Meanwhile, Khalid also issued a reminder to Kapar Member of Parliament S. Manikavasagam not to interfere in police work in the case.
"There is no need for politicians to try and become investigating officers. Stick to your job of serving the people and not do the work of the police," he said.
He was referring to Manikavasagam accompanying Indian national S. Usharani, to Ladang Gadong on Wednesday in connection with the disappearance of her husband Allal Kathan Muthuraja, 34, earlier this year.
The disappearance of Muthuraja has been linked to suspects in the murder of Sosilawati Lawiya and the three others.
Usharani, who had flown in from India, on Wednesday had also met the police in Banting over her husband's disappearance.
