“This success (of the police) is very encouraging. I congratulate the police force for having acted fast.
“I hope they will gather all the evidence so that the court will have no doubt in imposing a sentence commensurate with the seriousness of the crime committed,” he told reporters when asked to comment on a statement by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar that the murder of Sosilawati and three men had been solved.
Sosilawati, 47; her driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44; lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32; and CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, went missing on August 30 after they had gone to Banting, Selangor, over a land deal.
Police found out that the four had been killed, their bodies burnt and the ashes thrown into rivers near Ladang Gadong in Tanjung Sepat near Banting, and have detained eight suspects, among them two lawyers.
Earlier, Najib attended the Sabah level “Juara Rakyat” (People’s Champion) programme and an Aidilfitri open house, here.
At the event, also attended by Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman and leaders of Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties, the prime minister launched the “1 Malaysia Milk Programme” to provide free milk to primary school children.
Najib said the free milk programme, which was expected to be implemented next month, would initially be for pupils in standards one to six and would be extended in stages to higher levels.
He said the initial cost of the programme was RM4 million, and the allocation would be increased from time to time.
Najib said the Sabah government had given the undertaking that it would be able to supply the milk necessary for the programme. — Bernama
