KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Four police officers have been remanded as part of an investigation into the theft of jewellery belonging to a woman found dead in her car at a Setapak condominium car park on October 1.

Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed that the officers, who hold ranks from constable to corporal and are aged between 28 and 35, were arrested in the Setapak area and will be held for three days, starting from yesterday.

A remand application under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code was submitted yesterday, following a police report lodged by a local man regarding the jewellery theft.

"The case was initially classified as a Police Inquiry Paper (KEP). However, after obtaining several statements, the police reclassified it under Section 379 of the Penal Code,” he stated in a press release today.

Following the detentions, police recovered a receipt and a piece of yellowish metal weighing approximately 11.52 grams.

Authorities are continuing their investigations and have urged the public to refrain from speculation that may impede the inquiry. — Bernama
