Petaling Jaya police chief Fakhrudin Abd Hamid said the two dogs arrived at 1.50pm and began working at the area where Zayn’s body was found, near a stream by Apartment Idaman, Damansara Damai here.

Police are hoping that the dogs would be able to find new leads in the case, and the unit has previously played a main role in search and rescue efforts in several incidents in the country requiring their unique expertise.

Fakhrudin said no one had come forward to provide dashcam footage even though there were many vehicles parked in the parking area of the apartment.

“I urge those who have dashcam footage in their vehicles to come forward and share it with the police,” he said, advising the public not to spread fake news as the case is still being investigated.

“If there are any comments made by the public that are false and threaten public order and sully the dignity of this family, we will take stern action,” Fakhrudin said.
