KAJANG: Three men, who were arrested over the kidnapping of a five-year-old boy in Sungai Chua here last week, have arrived at the Kajang Court where they are expected to be charged.
The suspects arrived outside the court complex at about 9am Friday and needed a police escort to get to the front door through the swarm of photographers.
They are expected to be charged under Section 3(1) of the Kidnapping Act 1961 for abduction, wrongful restraint or wrongful confinement for ransom.
Police said the taxi driver, Hanizan Mohamed Radzi, who was also picked up last week after he returned the child to his family, would be released on a bond at about 11am.
On Thursday, police officially cleared him of involvement in the kidnapping, saying they found no links between Hanizan and the three other suspects.
All four were arrested within 24 hours following the brazen kidnapping of the boy in front of his Sungai Chua kindergarten, which was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV).
The boy was back in the arms of his family some eight hours after a video recording of his brazen abduction went viral on social media.
The kidnappers had allegedly asked for a RM300,000 ransom in exchange for the boy.
According to the police, almost all of the ransom money paid out was recovered.
