Police have detained three individuals to assist in the investigations in the case of six-year-old girl Albertine Leo Jia Hui, who went missing from a shopping mall in Iskandar Puteri on Saturday.
Johor police chief M Kumar said the two men and a woman aged between 28 and 55 were arrested at around 1.30pm in the Iskandar Puteri area yesterday.
However, he said the child has not yet been found.
“The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping or abducting with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine a person,” he said in a statement.
He also advised the public to refrain from making speculations that could disrupt the investigation and to channel any information through the Johor police hotline at 019-2792095 or the operations room at 07-2212999.
Prior to this, Iskandar Puteri police chief M Kumarasan reportedly asked for the public’s help in locating the child. The child’s father realised she was missing at the shopping mall at about 8.30pm.
Kumarasan was quoted as saying that the child is 120cm tall, has long black hair, fair skin and is moderately slim, wearing shorts and a white t-shirt with a picture of “Mickey Mouse”.
