KUALA LUMPUR – The remand order for the suspect in the murder of former Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (Upsi) student Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah has been extended for an additional seven days, starting tomorrow.
The order for the extension of the remand until July 29 was issued by judge Nurul Mardhiah Mohammed Redza following an application by the police at the magistrate’s court today.
The police had obtained an order to remand the suspect for seven days last week for investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code, and the order expired today.
It was reported yesterday that the police recorded the statements of several workers of a tapioca farm in Slim River, Perak, on Saturday to assist investigations into the murder of Nur Farah Kartini Abdullah.
According to a source, police went to the tapioca farm in Kg Klan Halt, Slim River, after the suspect arrested in the case revealed that he had gone to the farm and several other locations before the incident.
The suspect, in an orange lockup uniform and handcuffs, arrived at the court at 9.04am in a police car.
Nur Farah Kartini, 25, was reported missing on July 10 before her body was found in an oil palm plantation in Kg Sri Kledang, Hulu Selangor, at about 6pm on July 15.
Following that, a 26-year-old policeman was arrested.
The remains of Nur Farah Kartini were buried at the Kg Nyiur Manis Cemetery, Pekan, Pahang, last Thursday. – July 22, 2024
