Police have learned the identity of the shooter who gunned down Arab Malaysian Bank founder Hussain Ahmad Najadi and have raided his home in Cheras on Monday.
City CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the week-long investigation has had a breakthrough after it was revealed that the shooter (nicknamed Sei Ngan Chai) is a 44-year-old part time car repossessor.
“We have raided the suspect’s house and obtained his personal identification and other documents that will be vital in apprehending him,” he said, adding that the suspect’s wife was in the house when they raided the premises.
“We believe that the man is still in the country. We will bring more updates in a press conference on Tuesday at 11.30am,” he said.
On the taxi driver who allegedly ferried the shooter, Ku said the man led police to an apartment in Brickfields where they found a Smith and Wesson semi-automatic pistol, which he believe belongs to the suspect.
The cab driver allegedly told police that someone had asked him to hide the firearm.
