PETALING JAYA: Police have arrested seven suspects, including a wheelchair-bound “Datuk Seri”, in connection with the murder of a man whose bullet-riddled body was found in his car in Taman Segar, Cheras, on Sunday.

According to a report in The Sun, the ‘”Datuk Seri” in his 50s was picked up from his house in Cheras the same day.

Five other suspects in custody in connection to the case include a woman, said the report. Police believe they have solved the case with the arrest of the seven suspects.

The deceased, believed to have links to secret societies, was said to have been deeply in debt with many people, including the Datuk Seri, and was on the run for many years until he was tracked down last Friday, said the report.

He was abducted and taken to a house in Taman Segar, where gunmen shot him at least six times, before dumping his body in his car.

A woman known to the suspects, and who had witnessed the killing, notified the police out of fear for her safety, which led to the arrests, said the report.

Man’s bullet-riddled remains found in pickup truck in Cheras

By Hariz Mohd – 22 August 2016 @ 11:23 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: A man was murdered in cold blood before his body was dumped inside his own pickup truck at Taman Cheras, here.

The victim’s bullet-riddled remains were only discovered by authorities on Sunday evening, believed to be a few days after the murder took place.

Sources said police have so far arrested six people, including a woman, to facilitate investigations into the murder.

A source said the decomposing body, which was wrapped in pieces of cloth and plastic bags, was found during police checks on the truck following a report received from the woman.

It is learnt that the woman told police that she was a friend of the victim, and that he was killed on Friday morning following an argument about a debt.

“From initial investigations, police found that the victim was killed inside a double-storey terrace house at Taman Cheras.

“His body was then taken into the Hilux, parked in front of the house,” said a source.

It is believed that his killer wanted to get rid of the body by dumping it elsewhere, but the plan did not go through.
