IGP orders federal CID to form special team for Pamela case

PETALING JAYA: Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has ordered Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department to form a special team to probe the alleged abduction of Pamela Ling.

“I will be chairing a meeting tonight to get the latest updates on the case,” he said, according to Sinar Harian.

Razarudin said 16 people had given their statements to assist in investigations, including Ling’s husband.

He said her husband, Sarawakian businessman Thomas Hah, was still in the country but did not disclose if Ling was.

When asked by reporters if Hah was a possible suspect, Razarudin said the cops were not ruling out the possibility just yet, although several other individuals were also possible suspects.

“Investigations haven’t been completed yet and we believe that other people will become suspects, too,” he said, adding that the motive of Ling’s apparent abduction had yet to be determined.

Ling was on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s headquarters on April 9 to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation when she was allegedly abducted, with the e-hailing vehicle she was in cornered by three other cars.

Police said she had visited the anti-graft agency’s headquarters several times before her disappearance while the e-hailing driver claimed that three individuals had emerged from the vehicles wearing police outfits.

The cops have not ruled out the possibility that Ling’s abduction was partly orchestrated to discredit MACC and the police.
