The police investigation papers on the murder of a cosmetics millionaire and three other people were handed over to the attorney-general today, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said.

NONE He said the police were waiting for a DNA report and the complete investigation papers would be handed over to the attorney-general in a fortnight.

"I give the assurance that the complete report on the murders is expected to be ready in two more weeks," he told reporters after launching the police Facebook account and a media centre at the Bukit Aman police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

Sosilawati Lawiya, 47, her driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, who were reported missing on Aug 30 after they had gone to Banting, Selangor, were killed, their bodies burnt and the ashes thrown into rivers in the vicinity of Ladang Gadong near Banting, according to police.

Hishammuddin said he felt that the police had done a good job of investigating the murders, having uncovered sufficient evidence and arrested the suspects in a short time.

Investigation papers

In Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah met Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail today, apparently to hand over the investigation papers.

Ku was seen entering Abdul Gani's office at 11.45am and leaving about four hours later. He declined to speak with reporters.

abdul gani patail Abdul Gani ( left ), when contacted by Bernama, declined comment on any meeting with the police, but said the Attorney-General's Chambers would issue a statement soon.

Hishammuddin, when asked whether the media had gone overboard in reporting on the murders, said the media could not be totally blamed although there were aspects which could have been improved "That is why now we are looking at a new landscape and a new approach; it's a partnership," he said in an apparent reference to the police Facebook account he had just launched.

Asked about the many comments and views conveyed through the Facebook social website to facilitate the police investigation into the murders, he said all the information was taken into account so long as it did not hamper the police investigation.

After launching the police Facebook account , Hishammuddin said the page would be a new channel for the people to lodge reports other than at police stations and through other means.

He said the ministry had a responsibility to use new methods to channel accurate information to avert any misunderstanding among the people over any case.

"I hope this facility at the central level can be extended eventually to the state, district and (police) station levels. It is vital to channel most accurate information.

"With threats (such as human trafficking, terrorism, drug smuggling and cyber crimes), new methods have to be introduced by way of an out-of-the-box approach," he said.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ismail Omar and Deputy IGP Hussin Ismail were present at the event.
