Stop commenting on Zayn Rayyan's death, cops say

The public was advised against commenting on the murder of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, whose body was found in Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya, Selangor on Tuesday (Dec 5).

Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the police detected inappropriate comments on TikTok regarding the investigation of the case.

“The case is still under investigation by the police and such comments not only create public anxiety but also disturb the emotions of a family grieving over the loss of a beloved child.

“We ask the public to give space to the police to complete the investigation and track down the suspect,” he said in a statement today.

Since yesterday, a screenshot uploaded on TikTok has gone viral showing the condition of the autistic six-year-old’s body when it was found by residents who helped search for him.

Zayn Rayyan was reported missing on Tuesday afternoon and his body was found at about 10pm on Wednesday in a stream some 200m from his house at Idaman Apartment in Damansara Damai.

After getting the post-mortem results, police classified the case as murder.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said yesterday the boy was believed to have been murdered elsewhere before his body was dumped there.
