KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested a 25-year-old man, the second suspect believed to have attacked AirAsia employee Shahrinawati Abu Bakar.
Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Amiruddin Jamaluddin said the suspect was nabbed at 6.30pm Monday at Taman Cempaka here in Ampang.
ACP Ammiruddin said the suspect tested positive for metamphetamine and was wanted for a drug-related case in the Dang Wangi police district.
He added that the two were investigated under Section 398 of the Penal Code for robbery when armed or with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt.
Shahrinawati had parked her car and was walking towards the entrance of her condominium in Taman Cempaka, Ampang Jaya after working the night shift, when two armed suspects on a motorcycle pounced on her at about 2.45am on Aug 29.
Two men who attempted to help Shahrinawati during the incident, caused her death instead after they inadvertently rammed their car into her and the robbers.
The first suspect was arrested a day after the incident.
