The police have arrested the suspect involved in the fatal shooting of an bank officer during a robbery in Subang, Selangor last month.

In a Twitter posting today, inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said that a team from Bukit Aman apprehended the suspect at Johor Bharu this morning.

NONEAmbank USJ branch operations manager Norazita Abu Talib was shot in the head by a security guard employed by the branch on Oct 23.

The suspect then fled with RM450,000 on a motorcycle.

The shocking murder created a furore when it was revealed that the suspect has managed to gain employment using a false MyKad.

The National Registration Department (NRD) has subsequently admitted that they have discovered numerous such cases of foreigners with false MyKads working for security companies.

A man who allegedly robbed and shot dead an Ambank officer in Subang Jaya last month had used abandoned buildings and unoccupied houses as avoid detection during a 19-day police manhunt.

According to Bernama, the police believe that the suspect had used several abandoned buildings and in the Klang Valley and Johor as a hideout.

"The suspect is believed to have used public transportation such as bus and taxi to slip out of the Klang Valley to head for Johor, soon after the robbery-cum-murder on Oct 23.

"When in Johor, the man had also tried to obtain help from a syndicate to get a fake passport to escape to a neighbouring country," he said.

The suspect was detained at Kampung Belungkor in Kota Tinggi, Johor about 7am today.
