Kelantan cops seek chemical clues at rubber factory in spa acid attack case
KOTA BARU, May 25 — Police collected chemical samples from a Kuala Krai rubber factory, where two suspects worked, to probe the acid attack on a spa operator in Beris Kubur Besar, Bachok, on May 17. Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the samples have been sent to the Chemistry Department to determine whether they match the chemical (acid) used in the attack. 'This process may require some time, but it is essential for the investigation,' he told reporters today. Meanwhile, Bachok Police Chief Supt Mohamad Ismail Jamaluddin said preliminary investigations revealed that the victim and the two suspects in custody did not know each other. He said they are also searching for a third suspect believed to be connected to the incident and thought to have a close link with the two suspects, aged 38 and 45, recently arrested at the rubber factory. On May 17, a female trader was splashed with a substance believed to be acid by an unknown individual in an incident near a convenience store in Beris Kubur Besar, Tawang. The victim sustained severe burns on her shoulders, back, arms, and legs from the attack. She is currently in stable condition and is receiving treatment at the Burn Treatment Unit, Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital in Kubang Kerian. — Bernama

Second suspect nabbed in Bachok acid attack on spa owner, motive still a mystery, say police
KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — A second suspect has been arrested in connection with the acid attack on a spa operator in Bachok, Kelantan last Saturday. According to Berita Harian, Bachok District Police Chief Superintendent Mohamad Ismail Jamaluddin said the 45-year-old man was detained in Kuala Krai last night. 'The suspect is a friend of the woman who was arrested on Monday afternoon. This brings the total number of arrests to two so far. 'He will be brought before the Kota Baru Magistrates' Court this morning for a remand order,' he said when contacted by the national daily. In the incident, which took place last Saturday, 27-year-old spa operator Nor Faziera Muda was splashed with acid by three individuals and had to undergo six hours of surgery. Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat yesterday confirmed the arrest of a 38-year-old woman in connection with the case. She was detained in front of a rubber factory in Kuala Krai at around 4pm on Monday. 'The arrest was made during a joint operation by the Special Investigation Division (D9) of the Kelantan Police Contingent Headquarters and the Criminal Investigation Division (BSJ) of the Bachok District Police,' he said. The suspect, who works at a rubber factory, has no prior criminal record. Police also seized a Perodua Myvi, a mobile phone and a car remote. Superintendent Mohamad Ismail said the motive behind the attack is still under investigation. 'We have shown the victim a photograph of the arrested woman, but so far she has said she does not recognise her,' he added. Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the incident was driven by jealousy, revenge, debt, or another motive.
