Kangar district police chief Wari Kiew said the police would conduct further investigations on the motive of the crime.

Yesterday, a 15-year-old girl was reported to have been nearly kidnapped by a group of men, from her home in Kampung Tok Kandang.

The girl was alone in the compound of her home and was approached by two men who arrived there in a black Perodua Viva car at about 11am.

She ran to a neighbour’s house, calling for help, while the three men, aged between 24 and 58, fled.

The suspects were arrested at Simpang Empat yesterday afternoon.
