The 16-year-old boyfriend of murder victim Yap Shin Yuen and his older brother will be
00:07
released on police bail as investigators address additional instructions from the Selangor
00:12
Prosecution Unit.
00:15
Kajang OCPD Assistant Commissioner Nazron Abdul Yusuf said the police bail includes
00:21
a bond under Section 49 of the Criminal Procedure Code, requiring the suspects to appear in
00:26
court at a later date to be determined.
00:30
He stated that investigators referred the case to the Prosecution Unit on Thursday
00:35
but were directed to carry out further inquiries.
00:39
In a statement on Friday, he confirmed that the brothers would be released upon the expiration
00:44
of their remand.
00:46
A third suspect, the boyfriend's father, has been released after becoming a prosecution
00:51
witness.
00:52
ACP Nazron assured that the investigation paper would be resubmitted once all instructions
00:58
are fulfilled, emphasizing that police are committed to ensuring justice is served.
01:03
The suspects were initially remanded until Sunday, with an extension until Friday.
01:08
The case hinges on toxicology and post-mortem reports, which will determine whether 15-year-old
01:14
Yap Shin Yuen's death resulted from an altercation or possible drug use.
01:21
Selangor Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that the toxicology report
01:27
would confirm if Yap consumed drugs as police cannot yet determine whether her death was
01:33
due to an overdose.
01:35
He added that the post-mortem report is also awaited to establish the cause of death, noting
01:41
that the condition of the decomposed body has complicated the work of pathologists.
01:47
Yap was reported missing on December 19 after attending lion dance practice in Batu 11,
01:53
Cheras.
01:54
Her decomposed body was discovered on December 28 at RTB Sungai Changgang, leading police
01:59
to classify the case as murder and make several arrests.
02:04
Commissioner Hussein revealed that investigators are working to identify who dumped Yap's body
02:09
in the river.
02:10
Regarding claims of a confession, he said certain details of the investigation could
02:15
not be disclosed to maintain its sensitivity.
