KUALA LUMPUR: The eight suspects involved in the murders of cosmetics tycoon Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and her associates, were brought to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) today for DNA profiling.
The suspects were seen coming down from a police truck around 3pm, escorted by a number of police personnel. They then entered the hospital via its main entrance.
It is believed that the suspects were there to have their DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) examined.
The usually mundane surrounding at the HKL this afternoon turned chaotic as members of the public tried to get a glimpse of what the suspects look like.
After almost two hours, the suspects were then taken back to their lock-up in Bukit Jalil.
City CID chief SAC II Datuk Ku Chin Wah could not be reached for comments.
Cosmetics millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, 47, her driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, were killed, their bodies burnt and the ashes thrown into rivers in the vicinity of Ladang Gadong near Banting, Selangor.
All four were reported missing on Aug 30 after they had gone to Banting over a land deal.
Police also confirmed that they have not recovered the money that cosmetics queen Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya had taken with her to Banting for the meeting with the lawyer brothers who allegedly masterminded the quadruple murders.
CID director Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin said that investigations were still underway to determine if the suspects had taken any money from her.
Sosilawati’s daughter, Erni Dekritawati Yuliana Buhari, had claimed that her mother carried a huge amount of cash for the Banting meeting.
According to reports, Sosilawati had about RM4 million in cash on her when she made the trip with her lawyer, financial adviser and chauffeur on Aug 30.
Various theories abound over what transpired before the four were killed. One version has it that Sosilawati wanted her money back after she learned about alleged fraud involving the land in Penang she had planned to buy.
Police picked up the eight suspects after finding out what had happened to the four.
Meanwhile, federal CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin reported on his Facebook page that the police had received the investigation papers on themurders returned by the Attorney-General's Chambers yesterday.
"It is the normal procedure to assist the investigation," he said.
