Investigation Papers Into Missing Jet Engines Re-Submitted To AG's Chambers

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 (Bernama) -- Police re-submitted the investigation papers in connection with the two missing jet engines belonging to the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) to the Attorney-General's Chambers on Tuesday after being asked to carry out a more detailed probe, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

"We sent the papers back after updating the investigation report as requested. We are awaiting further instructions," he told Bernama here today.

Musa also confirmed that only two jet engines, which are the powerplants for RMAF's ageing F5E jetfighters, had gone missing and not four as mentioned in news reports that quoted sources.

As such, he urged all quarters to stop further speculation on the matter.

He added that no more arrests would be made for now and that any further action would depend on the instructions of the AG's Chambers.

Four people including three junior RMAF officers have been arrested in connection with the case and have been released on police bail.

The AG's Chambers returned the investigation papers last week to enable the police to carry out further investigations and obtain relevant documents, besides ascertaining how the engines could have been brought out of the country.

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail had described the case as very serious and pledged to the get to the bottom of it.

On the baby-for-sale racket uncovered in the Klang Calley recently, Musa did not dismiss the possibility that more individuals would be hauled up.

So far, police have saved 10 babies, aged between two weeks and nine months and a three-year old girl, who had been put up for sale.

An elderly woman and her two daughters have charged in court in connection with the case.
