Eksklusif: Bukan dia!

Oleh Mohd Jamilul Anbia Md Denin

> 'Muka tak sama'

KUALA LUMPUR: “Muka mereka (suspek) langsung tak sama,” kata seorang kanak-kanak berusia enam tahun yang pernah menjadi mangsa cabul ‘lelaki kucing’ di Kampung Baru di sini, Jun lalu, ketika ditunjukkan lakaran wajah suspek kes pembunuhan Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, 8.

Wartawan Harian Metro yang mengunjungi rumah kanak-kanak itu di Kampung Baru, cuba mendapatkan kepastian sama ada wajah suspek lelaki dan wanita yang diedarkan polis Selasa lalu adalah individu sama yang menculik dan mencabulnya.

Mangsa yang kembali ceria mengambil masa kira-kira 30 saat untuk meneliti keratan akhbar sebelum benar-benar pasti gambar lelaki yang ditunjukkan itu bukan lelaki kucing.

Dia yang baru pulang dari tadika bagaimanapun termenung seolah-olah cuba mengingati semula kejadian ngeri yang menimpanya lebih tiga bulan lalu.

Kemudian, dia menggelengkan kepala selepas pasti lakaran wajah suspek terbabit berlainan dengan ‘lelaki kucing’ yang turut menculik dan mencabul seorang kanak-kanak lain di Kampung Baru.

“Bukan gambar ini, muka tak sama,” katanya dengan pasti buat kali kedua ketika ditemui di rumahnya di Jalan Mahadi, Kampung Baru, semalam.

Ibu mangsa yang berusia 37 tahun pula menyatakan dia dan suami mengambil masa agak lama untuk memulihkan semangat anak mereka yang trauma akibat tragedi itu.

Kini, dia bersyukur kerana anaknya pulih sepenuhnya dan mampu berbual seperti biasa.

“Sejurus kejadian, dia jadi pendiam dan sering rasa tak selamat hingga terbawa-bawa ke dalam mimpi. Alhamdulillah, sekarang dia boleh bermain semula dengan rakan serta kembali ke tadika.

“Yang penting sekarang saya perlu mengambil langkah berhati-hati dan memastikan kejadian tidak berulang,” katanya sambil membelai rambut anak gadisnya itu.

Dalam kejadian 27 Jun lalu, kanak-kanak perempuan itu dibawa seorang lelaki yang menggunakan umpan kononnya meminta bantuan mangsa mencari kucingnya yang hilang dan berjanji memberi aiskrim berhampiran Tadika Perpaduan Islam Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru.

Mangsa sebelum itu menunggu ibunya datang menjemput kira-kira jam 11 pagi tetapi diculik lelaki bermotosikal terbabit.

Kanak-kanak itu dibawa ke sebuah rumah yang tidak diketahui lokasinya sebelum kemaluan disumbat dengan terung oleh lelaki terbabit manakala kaki dan tangannya diikat dan dikurung dalam rumah itu.

Mangsa ditemui ibunya dalam keadaan lesu serta tidak bermaya 100 meter dari tadika terbabit selepas lima jam mencari di sekitar Kampung Baru.

Difahamkan, mangsa memberitahu ibunya penculik terbabit memakai baju kuning serta topi keledar hitam.

Berikutan kejadian itu, mangsa dihantar ke wad kanak-kanak Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) bagi mendapatkan rawatan akibat cedera di kemaluan.

Pada 3 Julai lalu, seorang kanak-kanak berusia lima tahun pula menjadi mangsa cabul lelaki yang juga menggunakan alasan sama iaitu mencari kucing.

Kanak-kanak perempuan terbabit dilarikan seorang lelaki sebelum ditinggalkan tidak jauh dari rumahnya di Jalan Raja Bot, Chow Kit.

Siasatan mendapati mangsa dilarikan suspek yang dikatakan memakai jaket hitam, berbaju putih dan berkaca mata ketika bermain bersama sepupu di depan kedai bapanya kira-kira jam 3.30 petang.

Suspek dikatakan berpura-pura meminta bantuan mangsa mencarikan kucing dengan memberikannya RM10, manakala sepupunya yang cuba menghalang dimarahi lalu berlari memasuki rumah.

Mangsa turut dikurung dan diikat dalam sebuah bilik dan dibebaskan selepas dicabul.

Lelaki kucing yang masih bebas sekali lagi dikesan muncul pada 15 September lalu apabila cuba memperdaya seorang kanak-kanak berusia 11 tahun di pasar malam Setapak Jaya.

Lelaki terbabit mengajak mangsa memberi makan kucingnya di lombong berhampiran.

Kanak-kanak itu yang enggan mengikut lelaki terbabit lalu pulang ke rumah menceritakan kejadian berkenaan kepada ibunya.

Mulanya, suri rumah itu tidak mengesyaki apa-apa sehingga dua hari selepas itu, penemuan mayat Nurin Jazlin disiarkan media.

Ibunya membuat laporan di Balai Polis Wangsa Maju.

> Tunggu analisis kad SIM

KUALA LUMPUR: Polis menunggu keputusan analisis kimia berkaitan kad modul pengenalan pelanggan (SIM) telefon bimbit yang dikeluarkan daripada perut wanita warga Indonesia (gambar) dipercayai suspek kes pembunuhan kanak-kanak perempuan, Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, 8.

Kelmarin, kad SIM itu dikeluarkan selepas hampir lima hari terpendam dalam perut wanita yang ditahan berhampiran sebuah pasar raya di Bandar Baru Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

Difahamkan, kad itu kini berada di Makmal Forensik Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), Cheras untuk proses analisis dan turut dipercayai boleh dijadikan sebagai bahan bukti utama berhubung kes pembunuhan terbabit.

Pengarah Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Bukit Aman, Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee, berkata pihaknya menghantar kad SIM itu untuk dianalisis dan masih menunggu keputusan penuh terutama berkaitan isi kandungannya.

“Pihak kami masih menunggu keputusan analisis kad SIM terbabit. Selain itu, proses siasatan berkaitan pembantu rumah terbabit masih dijalankan,” katanya ketika dihubungi Harian Metro di sini, semalam.

Beliau bagaimanapun enggan mengulas lanjut mengenai perkembangan terbaru berkaitan kad SIM itu kerana bimbang ia akan mengganggu proses siasatan.

Police looking into several leads

Nurin Murder Probe: Police looking into several leads


KUALA LUMPUR: Police have intensified their investigations into the murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin.

Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said they were working on several leads and added that the task force formed to investigate the case was still in charge of investigations.

On the SIM card which was flushed out of an Indonesian woman, Khalid said the matter was still being investigated.

The SIM card, which the 23-year-old Indonesian woman swallowed when she was picked up in Nilai last week, is believed to hold vital clues to Nurin’s murder.

The suspect is believed to have sent text messages to Nurin’s father Jazimin Abdul Jalil and made calls to the RakanCop hotline to check on the progress of the case.
It was reported that the woman, who had been warded at University Malaya Medical Centre since last Saturday, had refused to eat any solids.

The SIM card is currently at the police forensics laboratory in Cheras where experts are trying to retrieve data from it.

The woman is now the only suspect in police custody in connection with the case.

Police picked up four men and a pregnant woman in Section 7, Shah Alam, on Sept 27 but all were released after it was established that they were not connected to the case.

Nurin, a Year Two pupil of Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Desa Setapak, was reported missing on Aug 20.

Her sexually-ravaged body was found in a sports bag near a flight of stairs at a three-storey building in Petaling Utama on Sept 17.

The photofits are of a man and a woman. They were put together from witness accounts following the discovery of Nurin's body in a sports bag in Petaling Utama on Sept 17.

The man is Malay, between the ages of 35 and 40, and about 168cm tall.

A houseowner, whose property the suspect had wanted to rent, provided the description. Police revealed that the houseowner was approached in Bangsar at about the same time Nurin went missing.

The suspect had told the houseowner that he would be renting the house with his daughter. He, however, did not show up after they had agreed on the rent.
The second photofit is of a woman. She is also Malay, in her 20s, and about 153cm tall. She has shoulder-length hair and was last seen wearing a red blouse.

Witnesses had seen her seated on the staircase in the afternoon of Sept 16 near the sports bag containing Nurin's body. The body was discovered the next day.

Police also yesterday showed the blue Diadora sports bag, measuring 35cm in length.

Police had detained four men and two women in the past two weeks. One woman was released several hours later, while the four men were released unconditionally on Monday.

The only suspect in custody is an Indonesian woman. She was arrested in Nilai on Saturday. She is warded at the University Malaya Medical Centre where doctors are trying to retrieve a SIM card which she had swallowed. The SIM card is considered evidence.

On the release of the four men, Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee said: “After conducting investigations, we found no further need to detain them.

“We are satisfied they were not involved in Nurin's case.”

On the Indonesian woman in custody, Wan confirmed she was an illegal immigrant and said police were waiting to retrieve the SIM card.

Asked about the link between Nurin's case and the Kampung Baru serial molester who had attacked two children aged 5 and 6, Wan said both cases were being investigated separately but added that the task force in charge of each case was comparing notes.

Nurin, 8, had gone missing from her home in Wangsa Maju on Aug 20 after going to a nearby pasar malam.

A nationwide search was carried out for the girl until her sexually savaged body was found in a sports bag on Sept 17.

Since then, police had been working on several theories, including that Nurin's assailant could be the “Kampung Baru molester".

Police are examining images from a closed-circuit television camera which showed a woman seated near the sports bag containing Nurin's body. The images also showed a man arriving at the scene on a motorcycle, carrying a sports bag.

The images are not clear and police have sought the help of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation to enhance the images on the tape.

Police are also waiting for the DNA results of several strands of hair found in the sports bag.

Meanwhile, MCA Public Service and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said a RM20,000 reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of Nurin's killer stood.

KUALA LUMPUR: A 23-year-old Indonesian woman was arrested at noon yesterday in connection with the murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin.

When police nabbed her, she swallowed a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, which police believe could contain evidence linking her to the 8-year-old's murder.

After she was picked up at a hypermarket in Nilai, Negri Sembilan, police seized two mobile phones, four SIM cards and RM477 from her. She had no travel documents.

Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee would only confirm her arrest and declined to comment further.

But a source said: “The woman was apparently responsible for feeding Nurin while she was held captive. Police are trying to find where Nurin was held.”
A prepaid starter pack seized from the suspect had the same number used to make calls to police through the RakanCop hotline.

She had used other SIM cards to make calls and send text messages to police and Nurin's parents.

“There were several calls and text messages,” the source said.

“The suspect had also called Jazimin Abdul Jalil several times, and sent text messages, saying Nurin was safe and being taken care of.”

Police believe the suspect may be the woman caught on a closed-circuit television camera, sitting next to the sports bag in which Nurin's body was found on Sept 17.

The CCTV images have been sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States for enhancement.

After police obtained a seven-day remand order from the Petaling Jaya magistrate's court, the woman was taken to University Malaya Medical Centre, where at press time police were still waiting for the contents of her stomach to be flushed out.

A blood sample will then be taken for DNA testing.

Police are also investigating whether the woman was responsible for luring Nurin away from a pasar malam in Wangsa Maju on Aug 20, the night she was reported missing.

The arrest comes about 24 hours after police picked up four men, aged from 27 to 33, and the wife of one of the men in Shah Alam.

The men have been remanded for seven days while the wife was released on police bail. Police are also planning to interview their two children to find out if they have been sexually abused.

The Indonesian woman arrested yesterday is the girlfriend of one of the suspects in the sexual assault and murder of Nurin.

One of the four suspects was previously investigated by police in connection with a rape in Masai, Johor, last year.

He was renting a room with a family who accused him of rape. It is not clear whether the victim was a child or an adult.

Police are preparing to re-examine that case.

None of Nurin's clothing was in the bags of clothes police removed from a house in Klang and a shophouse in Shah Alam on Friday.

Nurin's naked body was found inside a sports bag under the staircase of a shoplot in Petaling Jaya Utama on Sept 17.

Her clothes have yet to be found.

Cops release photofits

Press conference with CID director
Comm Christopher Wan Soo Kee

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have released the photofits of a man and a woman, said to be locals, in connection with the abduction-cum-brutal murder of eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jaziman.

The photofits were produced from descriptions given by the public.

The man is between 35 and 40, 168cm tall, with fair complexion. He went to housing areas in Bangsar inquiring about a room to rent for himself and his daughter.

He approached numerous house owners around the time Nurin went missing.

The woman is in her 20s, 153cm tall, with shoulder-length hair and had worn a red dress when she was seen near a dark-blue Diadora sports bag in which Nurin’s body was found at a shoplot in Petaling Utama on Sept 17. The woman was seen in the afternoon, a day before we found Nurin’s body.

Federal CID director Comm Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee said anyone who had seen a person carrying the bag between Sept 16 and 17 in the area to should contact the police immediately.

When asked if a child pornography syndicate was behind the crime, Comm Christopher said that police were investigating all possible angles.

Speaking at a press conference, he said the culprit or culprits could also be responsible for the Kampung Baru molest cases, in which two girls, aged five and six, had been lured by the promise of ice-cream.

The girls were then molested and had brinjals forced into their private parts before being released several hours later.

Comm Christopher also confirmed that the four men detained in Shah Alam in connection with Nurin’s case last Thursday were released at 4pm on Monday.

He refused to reveal why the four, aged between 27 and 35, were released even though their remand order was to end on Oct 4.

Mutthalagi, 21, Universiti Malaya student Jessie Chew Chia Sin, 21, and sales assistant Yusnita Yusoff, 29, yesterday whether they had seen the people in the photofits anywhere in Petaling Jaya Old Town area.
“We are still waiting for their DNA test results but released them based on other evidence,” he said.

Comm Christopher said this leaves only the 23-year-old Indonesian woman detained on Saturday at a stall in Nilai still in custody.

“She is being detained at the University Malaya Medical Centre where doctors are trying to retrieve the subscriber identification module (SIM) card that she swallowed when she was taken to court for remand,” he said.

The woman is believed to have sent SMSes to a police hotline number, claiming that Nurin was in her custody days after the girl went missing on Aug 20 following a trip to a night market.

When met at his house, Nurin Jazlin's father Jazimin Abdul Jalil said he did not recognise the two faces. He also asked whether the police had said if the two people were foreigners or locals.

His wife, Norazian Bistaman, hoped that the police would find the two soon.

Nurin's badly bruised body was found stuffed in a sports bag in Jalan PJS1/48 in Petaling Jaya on Sept 17.

A post-mortem revealed that she had been sexually assaulted with a cucumber and brinjal.
