Main suspect in murder is not a ‘Datuk’ after all

PETALING JAYA: The main suspect in the murder of cosmetics queen Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya is not a Datuk after all.

Police enquiries in all states to trace who had conferred a Datukship on the 41-year-old drew a blank, sources said.

It is learnt that the suspect had bought the so-called title from a businessman for RM180,000.

The man had promised him that his name would be included on the list of recipients for Datukship.

Apparently, the businessman told the suspect that he was free to use the title following the inclusion of his name on the list.

Sources revealed that police were also looking for the businessman.

In Banting, Bernama reports that the police forensic team found more objects in Sungai Panchau which could shed light on the murders of Sosilawati and three others.

A police team was seen holding several objects, including what is belie ved to be a bundle of bone fragments.

The press was not allowed near the investigation scene and a canvas screen was put up at the investigation site, making it difficult for the media to see what was going on.

Also seen at the investigation site was the police Forensic Department director Datuk Abdul Malek Harun.
