The Magistrate’s Court in Johor Bahru today issued a remand order on six individuals to facilitate the investigation into the murder case at a petrol station in Taman Pelangi here last Sunday.
Magistrate Noor Aisyah Ahmad allowed the application by police to remand the five men, in their 20s, and a woman, aged 19, for seven days from today.
Yesterday, Johor police chief Mohd Khalil Kader Mohd in a statement said that a man and a woman were arrested at 2.30am to assist in the investigation into the case.
It is understood that the four other men linked to the case were arrested early today.
In the 7.30pm incident last Sunday, the 44-year-old victim was stabbed by four men who were in a white BMW which also then knocked down the victim and ran over him twice.
The victim had stopped at the petrol station with a woman, said to be his Vietnamese wife, to inflate the tyres of his car when he was set upon by his assailants.
Following the brutal murder, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also home minister, was quoted as saying that the victim was a secret society leader and the attack was part of an ongoing dispute between two secret society gangs.
