Cops interview 9 witnesses on shooting at Bidor petrol station
Perak police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin says they have not established the motive for the businessman's shooting.
Perak police have gathered statements from nine witnesses, including the victim, in the investigation of a shooting that occurred at a petrol station in Bidor Sentral last Tuesday. Police chief Alwi Zainal Abidin revealed that the suspects may have involved at least three individuals, including a driver with a potentially fake registration number.
The victim, a businessman who owns multiple businesses in the region, is currently in stable condition following surgery at Seri Botani Hospital. Among those interviewed were three family members in the victim's vehicle, two others in a nearby vehicle, and employees of the petrol station. Perak police are examining multiple angles of the investigation, including motive, the identity of the suspects, and the involvement of the victim in the incident.
CCTV footage from the petrol station and toll plazas has been reviewed by police, but the footage did not show the suspects exiting the toll plazas. Police are also exploring the possibility that the victim was followed to the petrol station based on the high-speed movement of the suspects' vehicle.
