IPOH: The main suspect in the slaying of lawyer G. Balasunderam outside his home last year has been identified by police.
However, the suspect cannot be charged yet because police need concrete evidence, Perak Police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahalan said.
“We have yet to complete investigations into the case although we made some arrests earlier. We still need to find more evidence.

“We have yet to complete investigations into the case although we made some arrests earlier. We still need to find more evidence.
“We cannot charge people in court without substantial evidence,” he said.
He also denied allegations by certain quarters that police failed to charge the main suspect due to his political connections.
On Nov 16, masked assailants ambushed Balasunderam, 57, outside his home in Desa Rishah here at about 5pm and slashed him on the abdomen and thigh.
The lawyer was believed to have been trailed by two men from his office and attacked just before he reached his house.
He suffered 17 slash wounds and succumbed to his injuries at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here at about 9.30pm that day.
