The remand order on two men suspected to be involved in the killing of a cat by placing it into a clothes dryer has been extended for another three days beginning tomorrow.

Gombak police chief Samsor Maarof said the remand order on both suspects was granted by the Selayang Magistrate's Court.

When contacted by Bernama, Samsor said the suspects will be remanded until Thursday to assist in the investigation on the case.

Last Thursday, police released photographs of the three suspects wanted for abusing and killing the animal under Section 428 of the Penal Code.

The two suspects, aged 26 and 40, were detained last Friday at two locations in Gombak while the third was still at large and being tracked down by police.

Earlier, a closed-circuit TV recording showing the cruel act of the two individuals who killed a pregnant cat by placing it into the clothes dryer in a Gombak laundromat went viral.

The act subsequently drew widespread condemnation before the Malaysian Animal Association reported the matter to the police.
