Selangor CID chief Fadzil Ahmat said all parties involved in the incident, including police officers and rank-and-file personnel, would be called for the inquest.

He said police were keeping open the investigation papers on a missing person’s case related to the alleged disappearance of a woman, who is the wife of one of the suspects shot dead.

“We need information from the public if there are new leads to enable the police to find the victim said to have gone missing.

“For now, we are keeping the investigation papers (on the woman) open as a missing person’s case,” he told a press conference at the Gombak district police headquarters here today.

In the Sept 21 incident, three men suspected to have been involved in armed robbery were killed in a shootout with the police at Km22 of Jalan Rawang heading towards Batu Arang near here.
