KUALA LUMPUR – Police are narrowing down the list of suspects in the Brickfields shooting incident and have begun working on sketches and photofits to track them down.
Brickfields Deputy District Police Chief, Superintendent Ahmad Firdaus Mustaffa Kamal, told Scoop that through collaboration with the Bukit Aman and Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Departments (CID), they have determined that the suspects are likely hiding in areas around Bandar Kinrara, Taman Medan, and Pantai Dalam.
“We have narrowed down the suspects and are very close to apprehending them.
“The police have been working diligently since the day the incident occurred to ensure justice is served.
“Initially, Old Klang Road was also on our radar, but we have since shifted our focus to the other three areas, as they appear to be more likely hiding spots for the suspects.
