Sosilawati murder: Remand extended for five suspects

KUALA LUMPUR: The remand of five of the eight suspects in the so-called Banting murders has been extended by a week from today.
Magistrate Ahmad Shakin Ismail allowed the extension of the remand on the five men, in their 20's and 30's, to enable the police continue with their investigation of the case.

Ahmad Shakin issued the order for extension of the remand at the Bukit Jalil temporary detention centre where all the suspects are being held.

This is the third time that the remand has been extended.

The remand period for the other three suspects, two of them lawyers, ends on Saturday.

The attorney-general yesterday returned the police investigation papers and advised the police to conduct further investigation on several aspects of the case.

The eight suspects were picked up in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of cosmetics millionaire Sosilawati Lawiya, 47, her driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, after they had gone to Banting, Selangor, over a land deal on Aug 30.

Police found out that the four people had been killed, their bodies burnt and the ashes thrown into rivers in the vicinity of Ladang Gadong near Banting.
