CRADLE Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan received a death threat three months before he was murdered, sources said, adding that it was later traced to a relative.
The threat came in the form of an anonymous phone call which Nazrin took seriously. He had also lodged a police report.
Police later traced the call to a close relative and when Nazrin was informed, he retracted the report, a source told The Malaysian Insight.
So far, in the murder investigations, police have detained Nazrin’s wife, Samirah Muzaffar, her former husband and their two teenage sons. Also picked up were Samirah’s sister and brother-in-law.
All have since been released on bail.
Police are now waiting for the results of a second post-mortem conducted at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre.
Pathologists are still analysing the findings from the second autopsy, a police source said.
The second post-mortem came about after Nazrin’s family lodged a police report alleging that the first post-mortem was flawed.
Nazrin was found dead in his bedroom, which caught fire, in Mutiara Damansara on June 14, a day before Hari Raya.
His family said his handphone had exploded, causing the blaze. Cradle Fund also issued a statement saying its CEO died of injuries attributed to an exploding handphone charging next to the bed.
Police recently said they are also looking for an Indonesian maid who worked in Nazrin’s house.
Investigators only found out about the maid’s existence after they arrested several of Nazrin’s family members.
“At the initial point of the investigation, we had asked the family if they had a maid. They denied it,” a police source said.
The maid could be in Malaysia illegally as the Immigration Department has no record of her entry or exit.
