Kuala Lumpur CID deputy chief ACP Khairy Ahrasa said the first suspect was held on the day of the incident (Feb 2) in Puchong while another was arrested yesterday in Dang Wangi area.
"The first suspect, aged 27 years, was caught an hour after the incident at about 8.30pm while the other man, 30, was held yesterday. The two suspects are being remanded to assist investigations," he told reporters at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters, here, today.
He said initial police investigations revealed that the incident was related to business rivalry, gangsters, as well as illegal money laundering.
"As of today, we do not know the fate of the victim and we are still investigating. But we have found several leads and are confident of solving the case in one or two weeks time," he said.
He said the case was being investigated under Section 363 of the Penal Code for kidnapping and Section 395 for gang robbery and Section 170 for impersonating as policemen.
