Man Suspected of Shooting at Wife and Bodyguard Arrives at Subang Jaya Police Air Base
The man suspected of shooting at his wife and seriously injuring her bodyguard at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) last Sunday arrived at the police air base in Subang Jaya this afternoon under heavy security. Previously identified as Hafizul Harawi, the 38-year-old was arrested in front of a private hospital in Kota Baru, Kelantan yesterday after evading a nationwide manhunt for over 24 hours.
Arrest and Remand Order
Hafizul Harawi was taken to a Magistrate’s Court this morning where a remand order for seven days was issued. He will be taken to the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam next. He was flown aboard a King’s Air B300 aircraft that departed Kota Baru at about 1pm and touched down at the Peninsular Royal Malaysia Police Air Wing Unit operations centre in Subang Jaya at 2.03pm.
Heavy Security Escort
Some 10 officers in three police patrol cars and two police motorcycles were seen escorting the suspect. Dressed in the purple attire of lock-up centres and a pair of slippers, Hafizul Harawi had his hands cuffed behind his back as he left the plane and walked across the tarmac. He wore a blue medical face mask but kept his head down as he walked past the waiting media at the airbase, and did not speak.
Police Seizures and Investigation
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation director Commissioner Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain revealed that police had seized a pistol, several bullets, firecrackers, a passport, several foreign currencies in cash, and four identity documents belonging to other people, as well as a car. They believed the suspect had planned to flee Malaysia to Thailand and later on to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Incident Details
The lone gunman had thrown firecrackers and fired shots at the arrival hall of Terminal 1 KLIA at about 1.30am on April 14 before escaping. The intended target was his estranged wife who was waiting for the arrival of an umrah pilgrimage group. The wife’s personal bodyguard was shot in the abdomen and his condition is said to be critical. Police are investigating the case under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder and Section 8 of the Firearms Act (Heavier Penalty) 1971 for unlawful possession of a firearm.
As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge regarding the motive behind the shooting and the events leading up to the incident.
Conclusion
The arrival of the suspect at the Subang Jaya police air base marks a significant development in the case, bringing him closer to facing justice for his alleged crimes. With the suspect now in custody, authorities can proceed with their investigation and work towards ensuring that those responsible for the shooting are held accountable for their actions.
