One of the seven inmates who escaped from the Jelebu Drug Rehabilitation Institution in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan on April 10 is believed to have slipped out of the state, according to police.
Jelebu district police chief DSP Maslan Udin said police were continuing with efforts to track down escapee Muhammad Syafiq Rohmat, 32, who is still at large.
"Six escapees, aged between 28 and 62, have been rearrested in Jelebu recently. But the one still on the run could have slipped out of the state.
"We have asked for assistance from other police contingents,” he told reporters in Jelebu today.
Maslan urged anyone with information on the case to contact the nearest police station or Jelebu district police headquarters at 06-6136 222 or investigating officer Zuria Anis Mahassan at 016-6096 996.
On April 18, the six rearrested inmates were charged at the Bahau Magistrate's Court for fleeing from the rehabilitation centre. All of them pleaded not guilty.
