Eight police officers detained to assist murder probe in Tawau

Eight police officers have been remanded for seven days to assist in the investigation into a case under Section 302 of the Penal Code in Tawau.

Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder carries the death penalty upon conviction.

Sabah Police commissioner Idris Abdullah said the police have set up a special team to investigate the case.

“Police did not issue a detailed statement about this case as it is still too early and for fear that it could interfere with the investigation,” he said in a statement today.

Idris said a press conference will be held after the investigation into the case is completed.

He also urged the media against making any speculations, especially about security issues in the state.
