Zayn Rayyan murder: Police discover sock in stream

The police found a sock yesterday in the stream near where the body of autistic child Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin was discovered.

Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the sock needed to be sent to a laboratory for analysis to ascertain whether it belonged to Zayn Rayyan.

"We only found one piece but we need to confirm whether it belongs to the child or not," he said when contacted last night.

Yesterday, the police sought the help of the Fire and Rescue Department and the Selangor Irrigation and Drainage Department to drain the water at the stream to look for evidence.

The six-year-old child was reported missing on Dec 5 in Damansara Damai, before being found dead near a stream, about 200 metres from his apartment block the next day.
