KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Four policemen have been detained to assist in the investigation of a case of stolen jewellery belonging to a woman found dead in her car in the parking lot of a condominium in Setapak on October 1.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed that the four, who hold ranks from constable to corporal and are aged between 28 and 35, were arrested around Setapak and remanded for three days starting yesterday.
A remand application under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code was submitted yesterday, and an investigation was initiated following a police report lodged by a local man regarding the jewellery theft.
“The case was initially classified as a Police Inquiry Paper, but after obtaining several statements, the police reclassified the case under Section 379 of the Penal Code (committing theft),” he said in a statement today.
Following the arrests, the police also seized a receipt and a piece of yellowish metal weighing approximately 11.52g.
Investigations are currently ongoing and the public is urged not to make any speculation that could interfere with the investigation.
