KUALA LUMPUR: The police have obtained a court order to extend the remand on five suspects linked to the recent disappearance of contractor Mohd Syafiq Abdullah, until Oct 15.
The remand order on the five, the main suspects in the murder of cosmetics queen Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others was issued by Magistrate Norhayati Ahmad Mansor at 10.30am, at the Bukit Jalil temporary detention centre near here Saturday.
They are believed to be remanded again by the police to facilitate investigations into the disappearance of Mohd Syafiq, 37, who was reported missing with his business partner in April this year.
Syafiq’s wife, Samson Nahar Mohamed Dali, 35, was said to have lodged a police report on his disappearance on April 13 at the Kuala Muda police headquarters in Sungai Petani.
Sosilawati, 47, and her driver, Kamaruddin Shamsuddin, 44, CIMB bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, and personal lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abd Karim, 32, were reported missing since Aug 30, after going to Banting to conclude a land deal.
The police have confirmed that the four were beaten to death before their bodies were burnt and the ashes discarded at several rivers near Ladang Gadong, Tanjung Sepat. -- Bernama
