Tawau murder case: Remand for eight cops extended seven days

 


The remand period of eight policemen, including four senior officers, held in connection with the murder of an e-hailing driver in an oil palm plantation in Tawau on Jan 13, has been extended for another seven days from today.

Magistrate Dzul Elmy Yunus allowed the extension in remand proceedings at the Tawau District police headquarters (IPD) after the previous remand order of seven days ended today.

Yesterday, Sabah police chief Commissioner Idris Abdullah was reported as saying that the murder was motivated by jealousy and did not involve security issues in Sabah.

According to him, the wife of the deceased has been charged at the Tawau Magistrate's Court under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

On Jan 30, Nurima Juli, 33, who is unemployed, was charged with the killing of Nurman Bakaratu, 61, in an oil palm plantation near Jalan Anjur Juara, Jalan Apas at  Batu 5 in Tawau, between 7.30pm and 9pm on Jan 13.
