KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- The prime suspect in the murders of cosmetic queen Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others may be linked to the disappearance of two more persons, said Member of Parliament for Kapar S. Manikavasagam.
He said their family members lodged police reports on Thursday on the missing duo between eight and nine months ago after dealing with the prime suspect, who was a lawyer, over the sale of land.
Manikavasagam claimed that one of the reports was lodged at the Rawang police station but he was not sure where the other report was made.
Gombak police chief ACP Abdul Rahim Abdullah, however, denied such report was received by Rawang police.
Manikavasagam, who refused to divulge the identities of the complainants, said he would shed more light on Saturday.
He was speaking to reporters after accompanying S. Usharani, the second wife of Indian millionaire A. Muthuraja, who wanted to hand over a recorded telephone conversation which she had with a man who demanded a RM1million ransom from her to the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.
However, Usharani was unable to do so as Ismail was not around. She planned to hand over the evidence next week.
She claimed that she had first received a call from a man called Muru on Feb 2 but did not record the conversation.
However, Usharani recorded the next phone call from a man identifying himself as Asst Supt Suresh on Feb 12.
Usharani later handed over a memorandum containing copies of police reports on the loss of her husband, his passport, their children birth certificates and her letter to Indian High Commissioner in Malaysia to the Bukit Aman Public Relations Unit.
Muthuraja was reported missing during his visit here on Jan 18 to meet the lawyer brothers, who are suspects in the case.
Usharani from Ramapuram, Chennai lodged a police report on her husband disappearance in Banting on Sept 8.
Meanwhile, Bukit Aman confirmed receiving a memorandum from Manikavasagam at 1.10pm Friday.
Federal Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin said the memorandum was received by ASP Hasnul Hadi on behalf of Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.
"The memorandum, among others, proposed that the police set up a special team to investigate the disappearance of Muthuraja," Mohd Bakri said in a statement Friday.
He said Hasnul also received a mobile phone from Usharani which contained recorded telephone conversations with several individuals in the country.
"The police headquarters had set up a special team headed by the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department acting chief to investigate the disappearance of Usharani's husband, who was believed to have been killed, under Section 302 of the Penal Code professionally and assiduously," he said.
