3 ditahan selepas mayat lelaki ditemui dibungkus jaring dalam sungai
Polis Johor berkata identiti mangsa dipercayai seorang lelaki yang dilaporkan hilang di Mutiara Rini, Iskandar Puteri pada 29 Julai lalu.
Johor Deputy Police Chief Hoo Chuan Huat revealed that the motive behind the recent murder remains under investigation but does not rule out the possibility of financial motives such as debt. On Tuesday, police detained three men to assist in the investigation following the discovery of a male body wrapped and entangled in fishing net at Sungai Tanjung Sembrong, Parit Raja, Batu Pahat.
Deputy Police Chief Hoo stated that his team received reports around 12:30 PM from the public about the discovered body, with hands and feet tied with adhesive tape. Further investigation revealed a police report filed by a local woman on July 29th regarding her husband's disappearance from Mutiara Rini, Iskandar Puteri, according to Sinar Harian.
Based on initial observations, the deceased individual appeared to be the victim as reported by the location and items found. Acting on this information, a special investigation team from Johor IPK Criminal Investigation Department and Batu Pahat IPD Criminal Investigation Division detained three local men aged between 26 to 40 years in the Batu Pahat area.
Records of past criminal history revealed that two of the suspects had prior criminal and drug-related records. Deputy Police Chief Hoo emphasized that all suspects will be held until August 10th for further investigation under Section 302 of the Criminal Procedure Code for causing hurt. He stated that the motive behind the incident is still under investigation by the police, but does not dismiss the possibility of murder due to financial difficulties.
