Cops to question Morais’ brother on murder-charge sheet ‘link’



The police will record a statement from a younger brother of slain deputy public prosecutor Anthony Kevin Morais over an allegation the murder was linked to a charge sheet being prepared in the Attorney-General's Chambers against a senior government official.
Inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar said the sibling, Charles Suresh, was reported to have specific information on the murder.
"When he (Charles) said 'a crime has been committed', he must explain to us (police) because we need to investigate the allegation.
"We will contact his lawyer, Americk Sidhu as he had also issued a statement on the allegation, together with Charles. So, we will be calling (Americk) to help in the investigations," he said.
Khalid said this at a press conference after presenting the national sovereignty medal to 264 police officers and personnel who were involved in the 'Ops Daulat' at Lahad Datu in Sabah.
The presentation was held at the General Operations Force Camp in Ipoh today. Also present was Perak police chief Osman Salleh.
Khalid reminded Charles not to make baseless accusations as he should present the evidence first before issuing a statement to the public.
"Investigations into Kevin's murder have been completed and those allegedly involved have been charged in court. Why is he (Charles) starting (to tell) a new story now... all sorts of things?
"Yesterday, he said he had specific information which was in a pen drive. Why did he not present the evidence to the police; why keep it for so long?
"He is talking as though there is a plan by certain parties to revive this issue to accuse the relevant authorities of not taking any action (on the murder)," he said.
Khalid was commenting on a report in a local news portal recently that certain information had been stored in a pen drive and was now in the US with a person who had been instructed to disclose its contents to the public, in the event of any untoward incident.
Waiting for Filipino police
On the murder of Bernard Then Ted Fen, 39, who was believed to have been killed by Abu Sayyaf terrorists in southern Philippines, the IGP said a sample of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the victim's family had been sent to facilitate Then's identification.
"Yesterday, the Philippine police contacted us and made arrangements over how we could send the sample to them," he said, adding the Malaysian police were still waiting for a decision by the Philippine police chief to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.
On May 14 this year, Then, an electrical engineer, was one of two victims who were abducted by four armed men from southern Philippines who stormed the Ocean King Restaurant in Sandakan at 7.45pm.
The other kidnap victim was Thien Nyuk Fun, 50, who was also the restaurant manager.
However, on Nov 8 this year, Thien was released by the abductors as a result of talks between the Malaysian government and the terrorist group.
