Caught: Plainclothes officers leading the 32-year-old security guard into a car yesterday after he was arrested in connection with the murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin. |
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested two men – a 43-year-old drug addict and 32-year-old security guard – to help in investigations into Nurin Jazlin Jazimin's murder.
It is learnt that the drug addict was nabbed in Lorong Haji Taib in the Chow Kit area here on Saturday following information that he may be involved or have some information regarding the abduction, rape and murder of Nurin.
A team of police officers from Dang Wangi together with their Bukit Aman counterparts arrested the man at 11pm. He is being quizzed at the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman.
The security guard was arrested at an abandoned building in Jalan Tun Razak after police received a tip-off that he resembled the photofit of the Kampung Baru molester.
Four girls who were victims of the molester, were also brought to the building by police to assist in investigations.
However, they could not give a positive identification. The girls were there at 3.40pm and left about 10 minutes later.
It is said the security guard owns a black Kriss motorcycle, resembling the one used by the Kampung Baru molester.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Ku Chin Wah said the security guard was arrested at 10am.
He said the arrests were made under “Ops Sunti”, which was formed after Nurin's murder.
“I urge the media and the public not to speculate on the two arrests as it may jeopardise investigations. We will issue a statement if there is a breakthrough,” he added.

PENANG: Police have arrested the husband of policewoman for allegedly misappropriating RM12,000 belonging to an Indonesian woman.
The 24-year-old supermarket promoter was arrested in Seremban, Negri Sembilan by a team of policemen from the Central Seberang Prai police station at about midnight Monday. The man is expected to be charged later Tuesday with criminal misappropriation of property under Section 403 of the Penal Code.
He faces two-years' jail or a fine or both if convicted.
Central Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Anil Shah Abdullah who confirmed the arrest said stern action would be taken against the policewoman who was also under probe.
"We do not condone such acts and will take departmental action against the policewoman,'' he said.
An Indonesian worker known only as Titic claimed that she had asked the policewoman to help retrieve her passport and a black bag containing money and jewellery from her rented room in Chai Leng Park, Butterworth, in early May last year after she was detained for not having her travel documents on her.
The woman was detained in the police lockup for 12 days from April 28 last year.
“My landlady let the policewoman into my room. She told me the policewoman came with her husband.
“I had RM16,000 and jewellery worth RM2,000 in the black bag. But the policewoman only returned RM6,000 to me through another officer,” said Titic who worked as a restaurant helper.
Titic, 30, was sent to the Pokok Sena detention centre in Kedah and subsequently deported to Medan, Indonesia, in June because her visa had expired.
“I came back in July to get back my hard-earned money. But when I confronted the policewoman, she said she did not have the money,” she alleged.
Titic said she only lodged a police report on Dec 28 last year because she was not aware of the proper procedure.
