by ruben sario

KOTA KINABALU: A third person has been detained in connection with the disappearance of three-year-old boy Low Min You.

Police detained a 31-year-old man on Wednesday, the same day Min You’s parents were produced at the Magistrate’s Court here and remanded for three days.

Kota Kinabalu police chief Asst Comm Jauteh Dikun said they were looking into all possibilities in connection with Min You’s disappearance more than a week ago.

Police denied missing child found

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah police denied rumours that the missing three-year-old Low Min You has been found safe and alive at an apartment in Bukit Padang, near here.

Sabah police commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib told New Straits Times that police had not received such reports, adding the boy remained missing.

On whether the kidnapping of Min You was staged, Hamza said police had picked up another man, aged 31, to facilitate investigation.

The man was nabbed on Wednesday, the same day the boy’s parents Low Yee Sheng, 31, and his wife Yong Siew Yee, 26, were detained when they turned up at the City police headquarters.

“Tell me where the boy is hiding? Which condominium? So far I have not received reports about his finding and we hope the boy is safe,” he said, adding the man was Low’s drinking partner.

KOTA KINABALU: The case of the missing three-year-old Low Min You has taken a twist with the arrest of his parents.

Low Yee Sheng, 31, and his wife Yong Siew Yee, 26, were detained when they turned up at the Kota Kinabalu district police station in Karamunsing on Wednesday evening.

Low, a closed-circuit television camera installer, and Yong had earlier been asked to go to the police station.

They were produced yesterday morning before Senior Assistant Registrar Danny Buaya at a magistrate’s court here, where the investigating officer Insp Shreethran Balan applied to remand the couple for seven days.

Counsel Ram Singh, however, objected, saying that Low and Yong still had another child to look after at home.

Buaya subsequently fixed the remand for three days until Saturday.

It is believed that the parents were arrested following contradicting statements that they had given to the police.

The arrest of Min You’s parents came a day after Kota Kinabalu police chief Assist Comm Jauteh Dikun said he was puzzled over the lack of information about the boy’s whereabouts.
