The suspect arrested in connection with committing arson at Beruas MP Ngeh Koo Ham’s residence in Ayer Tawar on Jan 10, will be released on police bail today.
Manjung district police chief Mohamed Nordin Abdullah, in a statement last night, said the man would also become a witness if needed.
“The investigation papers have been referred to the Perak deputy public prosecutor and received instruction to release him on police bail while the man will become a witness in the case if needed,” he said.
Police also urged anyone with information about the incident to contact the investigating officer Mohd Azalan Ab Karim at 019-3927837 to assist in police investigations.
On Tuesday, police arrested a man in Shah Alam and obtained a remand order to detain the 30-year-old suspect to carry out investigations under Section 435 of the Penal Code for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail into Ngeh’s residence.
Yesterday morning, the Magistrate’s Court in Seri Manjung allowed police to remand the suspect for another day (until today).
In the incident last Wednesday, a Molotov cocktail was believed to have been thrown into Ngeh’s residence, resulting in a fire that destroyed one car and damaged two others.
