MUAR, Aug 12 — The prime suspect in the murder of his three family members in Kampung Paya Redan, Pagoh, near here on Friday is believed to have fled to the nearby districts on a red Honda Wave motorcycle, according to police.
Muar district police chief Assistant Commissioner Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the suspect, identified as Azman Mohamed Nor, 48, is believed to have escaped after committing the murder and setting the house on fire.
“The suspect is still in Johor and the police do not rule out the possibility that he may be hiding in a nearby district,” he said when contacted today.
