Datuk Seri arrested

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested a wheelchair-bound Datuk Seri and a gunman believed to be responsible for the murder of a man whose bullet-riddled body was recovered from his car in Taman Segar, Cheras, on Sunday.
Sources told theSun that the businessman, in his 50s, was picked up from his house in Cheras the same day.
The suspected gunman surrendered to police on learning he was being sought in connection with the case. He led police to the recovery of two handguns, said to be licensed firearms belonging to the Datuk Seri.
Kuala Lumpur police CID chief SAC Rusdi Mohd Isa, when contacted, confirmed the arrest of the suspected gunman but declined further comment, saying more details will be revealed at a press conference today.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that five others, including a woman, had also been arrested in connection with the murder.
With the arrest of the seven suspects, police believe they have solved the case.
The victim, believed to have links with secret societies, was allegedly killed over a business-related matter and bad debts.
Sources revealed that he was deeply in debt with many people including the Datuk Seri and had been on the run for years, until he was tracked down by a group of men on Friday.
He was abducted and taken to a house in Taman Segar where he was believed to have been shot and his body dumped in his car.
The victim had sustained at least six gunshots.
It is learnt that a woman, who is known to the suspects and had apparently witnessed the killing, notified the police out of fear for her safety two days after the murder.
A police team from the Cheras district police headquarters arrested the Datuk Seri and other suspects in raids at several locations before recovering the victim’s body.
