The brother of the missing Attorney-General Chambers’ Appellate and Trial Division deputy chief said he is leaving it to the police to find the missing Anthony Kevin Morais.

Datuk Richard Morais told The Malaysian Insider that the family trusted the police to find Kevin who has been missing since last Friday.

He told the news portal that he has not heard anything yet from the police.

“I believe they will come up with something soon," he was quoted telling the portal.

Morais was reported to have been missing since last Friday and on Monday, police formed a special task force, led by Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Zainuddin Ahmad, to investigate the matter.

Morais was reported last seen leaving his apartment at Menara Duta, Kuala Lumpur on Friday for his office in Putrajaya.

He was also reported to be driving a grey Proton Perdana with registration number WA6264Q.

Police yesterday said Morais was kidnapped by a group of men based on information gathered from closed-circuit television (CCTV) recordings along his route from his apartment to his office.

“The CCTV recordings checked included his (Morais’s) own CCTV recordings,” said Zainuddin to Astro AWANI.

He said the police are currently conducting a thorough investigation into the information gathered.

The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code.

Two days after Morais went missing, a burnt car was found at an oil palm plantation in Kampung Sungai Samak but police are still waiting for the report from the Forensics Unit and Chemistry Department before confirming who the car belonged to.

Police said no items were found in the vehicle, which resembled a Proton Perdana and Honda Accord, that can be linked to the missing officer.

The villager who discovered the burnt car in Hutan Melintang, claimed that the car was still burning when he stumbled upon it Saturday morning.
