The suspected shooter who fled the scene was named as Hafizul Harawi, 38 by Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Commissioner Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain throughout a information convention at KLIA earlier.
He stated the airport safety measures will probably be reviewed after at this time’s incident although it was categorised as an remoted case associated to a home battle and never a terrorist exercise.
“Bukit Aman is viewing this incident critically as it occurred on the nation’s entry level.
“This was not the primary time such an incident occurred, subsequently the present safety measures will probably be reviewed completely,” Mohd Shuhaily was quoted by The New Straits Times as saying in a separate information report.
The capturing incident, a few of it caught on video by bystanders, had sparked issues about KLIA’s safety requirements now beneath intense public scrutiny. Malaysia has very strict gun legal guidelines and gun-related crimes are very uncommon, which raises questions as to how the suspect had managed to amass a gun.
Mohd Shuhaily had stated the suspect had three previous complaints filed towards him by his spouse courting again to 2016 and the newest final December.
The suspect had been investigated beforehand for legal intimidation, theft, and pretending to be a civil official.
The case is being investigated as tried homicide beneath Section 307 of the Penal Code as police investigations confirmed the suspect was focusing on his spouse who was ready for the arrival of an umrah group on the airport.
One of the spouse’s two bodyguards who was shot in the stomach is in vital situation, Mohd Shuhaily stated.
The senior federal CID chief stated the case can also be being investigated beneath Section 8 of the Firearms Act 1960 for illegal possession of a weapon punishable with jail as much as a most 14 years, and no fewer than six strokes of the rotan.
