Speaking to reporters in Bukit Aman today, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said that some arrests were made, but refused to divulge further information.
“Let us continue our investigation, I will not comment on that yet,” Khalid said.
He also refused to comment on whether the business activities of the 32-year-old victim’s husband had anything to do with the motive.
“I will not reveal the motive now. Let it be revealed in court, during the trial,” Khalid said.
The woman was shot dead at close range by two unknown assailants on a motorcycle along Jalan Hujan Mas at 2.30pm on July 6.
The suspects were believed to have fired five shots at the vehicle, with one hitting the woman in the neck. Her daughter, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was also shot and later underwent surgery.
However, Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Amar Singh Ishar Singh, when contacted by reporters later, said no arrests had been made so far.
Speaking on a separate matter, Khalid said police had met officials of the Transport Ministry to discuss proposed security measures which may see only passengers with valid tickets being allowed into airport terminals for airline check-ins.
He, however, refused to state his opinion on the proposal announced by Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last week.
“We gave our views and recommendations on how to tighten the security of passengers, visitors and personnel there.
“But there is no need for me to explain. Let the ministry do that.”
Zahid was reported as saying that the proposal, discussed at the Cabinet meeting last Wednesday, would mean all other persons, including family members and friends sending off passengers, would have to remain outside the building.
This would also ensure that any other people, who have no business at the airport, will be prevented from entering the airport, he added.
