Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein says no official report has been received on the detention of Azmin Hilmi, the suspect involved in posting intimate photographs of Selangor exco member Elizabeth Wong online.

"The ministry has yet to receive an official report but we have received the cooperation of Interpol since the beginning of this case.

"I hope we can announce it to the public after I get a report from the CID director (Mohd Bakri Zinin)," he told reporters in Putrajaya today.

Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah was reported by newspapers today as saying that he has received confirmation of the man's identity from Indonesian authorities.

The 37-year-old man was arrested in Batam when trying to renew his passport using a false identity card and birth certificate at Batam Immigration Department.

On further investigation, Indonesian authorities found that the man was a Malaysian citizen claiming to be a member of PKR.

NONE Asked whether Azmin Hilmi should be brought back to Malaysia, Hishammuddin (right) said it depended on the police investigation.

Azmin Helmi went missing after police sought his help in investigating the posting of the photographs of Wong, his former girlfriend, on the internet.

On another note, he said Malaysia Today operator Raja Petra Kamaruddin could make a police report if he doubted the death of businessman Patrick Wong.

"I won't suggest anything to him. So whatever he feels is right, just do it," he added.

Police today clarified that the death of Wong, a former Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) president, in 2009 was classified as murder case from the start.

Militants' DNA confirmation

In an unrelated development, the government is awaiting the DNA confirmation of suspected Malaysian terrorists killed in air strikes in the Abu Sayyaf hideout in Sulu, the Philippines, last Wednesday.

Hishammuddin has not ruled out that more than one Malaysians were killed in the onslaught, but declined to elaborate.

"It's a bit complicated. Those who survived the attack buried the bodies of those who didn't.

"We have to match the DNA profile and it's a long, tedious and gruesome process.

In the pre-dawn air strike, 15 militants were said to have been killed, including Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leader Zulkifli Abdul Hir (left) , also known as Marwan, and Darul Islam (DI) Sabah members Amin Bacho and Jeknal Adil.

The police has despatched a forensic team to the Philippines to match the DNA samples from the families of the three Malaysian militants.

"We had yet to confirm whether the DNA profile of the families match that of the remains of the individuals involved," he said.
