Another foreign man involved in the shooting incident in the waters of Tanjung Rhu, Banting, Selangor, on January 24 has passed away due to his injuries at Sultan Idris Shah Hospital, Serdang, early yesterday morning.

Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that so far, the case has resulted in two fatalities.

He added that the police recently arrested two male suspects in Pulau Carey, Kuala Langat, Selangor, who were believed to have been on the boat during the incident.

“The General Operations Force conducted an operation around Pulau Carey recently and successfully detained a group of foreign individuals hiding there. We suspect that two of them were on the boat involved in the shooting incident,” he said at a press conference on Op Palu in conjunction with Thaipusam at Batu Caves today.

Hussein also informed that the police have recorded 31 statements from all individuals involved, and the investigation papers have been submitted to the Attorney General’s Department this afternoon.

“The investigation papers have been completed under Section 307 and Section 186 of the Penal Code, as well as Section 39 of the Firearms Act 1960,” he stated.

He further mentioned that the police are working with the Indonesian Embassy to locate another individual from that country to assist in the investigation.

On January 24, Hussein confirmed that one person had died and four others were injured in a shooting incident at Morib Beach, Kuala Langat, early on January 23. The injured individuals were treated at hospitals in Klang and Serdang.

The incident stemmed from a case where a Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) patrol boat in Selangor was rammed by a boat believed to belong to the suspects (the injured individuals) while conducting a patrol in the waters of Tanjung Rhu at 3 a.m. on the same day.
