Police To Probe If Sarina's Death Connected To Sosilawati's Murder

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 (Bernama) -- Police will investigate whether the death of Aveer Cosmetics founder Sarina Jaafar has any connection with the murder of cosmetics queen Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said.

He said police would look into all aspects of the case given that the two were best friends.

"We will look into all information we have on the case," he told reporters at an Aidilfitri reception at parliament house Sunday.

Sarina was found hanging in her bedroom at Taman Pauh Jaya, Bukit Mertajam, Penang, yesterday morning and was said to have called a relative and told her that she was going to hang herself.

Police have classified the case as a sudden death. Her family members said she had been under stress lately and had frequently told them that she was saddened by what had befallen her friend, Sosilawati.

Sosilawati, 47, CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, and lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, were reported missing on Aug 30 after leaving for Banting over a land deal.

Police confirmed that they were brutally murdered before their bodies were burnt and the ashes thrown into a river near Ladang Gadong, Tanjung Sepat, near Banting.
