POLICE have called up three people, including the six-year-old’s babysitter, to help in the investigation into Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin’s murder.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said among those called in today were the child's former babysitter and two of his family members.
"They have been called to assist and complete the police investigation,” he said.
Hussein said they gave their statements at the Petaling Jaya police station.
Yesterday, it was reported that police seized the mobile phones of Zayn Rayyan's parents for further investigation.
The parents of six-year-old autistic boy Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, who was found dead in Damansara Damai last December, were remanded for seven days by the magistrates’ court on Sunday.
Magistrate Azura Mohd Saad granted the remand, and the couple will be held until June 9.
The case, which was classified as sudden death, was refiled as murder after police found evidence of foul play.
Zayn’s body was found more than 30 hours after he was reported missing on December 5.
A forensic examination found injuries to Zayn’s neck and body. Police believed he was murdered elsewhere before the body was dumped in the creek.
In January, Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director Shuhaily Zain said police had recorded the statements of more than 200 people in connection with the case. – June 3, 2024.
