Second suspect in Bachok acid attack nabbed, say cops
KOTA BARU: Police have arrested a man in connection with the acid attack on a spa owner in Beris Kubur Besar, Bachok, last Saturday.
Bachok district police chief Supt Mohamad Ismail Jamaluddin said the suspect was arrested at 4pm yesterday at a rubber factory in Kuala Krai.
He said the 45-year-old man was detained to assist in investigations under Section 326 of the Penal Code.
"Police will apply for a remand order for the suspect today to facilitate further investigations,' he told Bernama when contacted Friday (May 23).
Yesterday, Bernama reported that a female suspect had been arrested at the same factory on suspicion of being involved in the incident.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the 38-year-old woman was arrested at 4pm last Wednesday.
Last Saturday, a female trader was doused with a liquid believed to be acid by an unknown individual in an incident near a convenience store in Beris Kubur Besar, Tawang, near Bachok.
The attack left the victim with severe burns on her shoulder, back, arms and legs. However, she is currently reported to be in stable condition and is receiving treatment at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), Kubang Kerian. - Bernama

Klang boat incident: Victims believed not wearing life jackets
KLANG: All victims involved in the capsized boat incident in the waters off Tanjung Harapan here yesterday were believed not to be wearing life jackets. North Klang District Police chief ACP S Vijaya Rao said initial investigations also revealed that the boat, which was being test-driven, was operated by its owner at the time. He said the absence of life jackets had made the search and rescue (SAR) operation for the remaining two missing victims among the six people on board more difficult. 'Those who engage in activities at sea must wear life jackets, which are very useful during emergencies like this capsized boat incident, in addition to having swimming skills,' he said at a press conference at the search site in Tanjung Harapan today. Vijaya said the location where the boat capsized had been identified, but strong currents may have swept the two missing victims away and caused them to drown. Meanwhile, he said police had recorded statements from three individuals, including one survivor. 'The actual cause of the incident has yet to be determined, and the case is being investigated under Section 280 of the Penal Code,' he said. In the incident at about 5 pm, three individuals including a child died, one survived (Alvin Chang Yan Qin, 17), while a married couple remains missing. The deceased victims were Darren Gan, 3; Cheu Son Hin, 50; and Fong Yong Sen, 29, while those still missing have been identified as Gan Hon Tat, 32, and his wife Careen Man, 29, both from Klang Utama.
