KUALA LUMPUR: The three prime suspects in the murder case of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya have been re-arrested.
In a statement this morning, Bukit Aman deputy director of Intelligence and Operations, Datuk Hadi Ho Abdullah, said the suspects were re-arrested in connection with investigations into the murder of two businessmen reported to the Petaling police station on April 13.
Hadi said the suspects would be remanded if there was a necessity.
The development came in the wake of the murder of Sosilawati and three others. Sosilawati, 47, her driver, Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, went missing on Aug 30 after they had gone to Banting, Selangor, over a land deal.
Police believe the same suspects were responsible for these murders. Eight people, including the two lawyers, have been rounded up in connection with the case.
Sosilawati and the three are believed to have been battered to death, burnt and their ashes thrown into several streams near a farm in Banting.
The farm is believed to be owned by one of the lawyer suspects.
