"He is estimated to be about 180 centimetres tall, has a medium complexion and a slim build, with his last known address at Halaman Meru Damai, Ipoh.

"The second individual is his younger brother, Mohamad Arif Naharoddin, 25, also known as ‘Aboy’, who shares the same last known address in Halaman Meru Damai,” he said in a statement reported by Bernama.
