The man, who was arrested on Sunday following a tipoff that he resembled the photofit of the Catman, was released after police found no evidence to link him to the molest of three girls in Kampung Baru last year, the abduction of a six-year-old girl from Petaling Jaya last week and the Nurin case.
Another security guard, 43, who was picked up on Saturday in Chow Kit, was also released on Tuesday.
Kuala Lumpur CID chief SAC II Ku ChinWah said that the release of the suspects does not mean that police have stopped investigating the case.
“We are streamlining our efforts with Selangor police to track down missing five-yearold Sharlinie Mohd Nashar.”
The hunt for the elusive Catman continues after a 32- year-old security guard, who was detained in connection with the brutal rape and murder of eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, was released yesterday.
The man, who was detained on Sunday to help investigations, was released after police found that there was no conclusive evidence to link him to any of the Ops Sunti cases.
Ops Sunti focuses on the molest cases involving three girls in Kampung Baru last year, the abduction of a six-year-old girl from Petaling Jaya last week and the Nurin case.
Kuala Lumpur CID chief SAC II Ku Chin Wah said although investigations proved inconclusive, the guard could still face the rap for narcotic charges.
“He tested positive for dadah,” said Ku, adding that the man had been handed over to the narcotics department for investigations into dadah abuse.
The guard, a father of three, works for a company in the city centre. He was reported to have been working the night shift at the building for a year.
Ku said although the remand order for the suspect expires on Jan 20, he was released as there was no evidence to link him to any of the Ops Sunti cases.
Ku, however, assured that the release of the suspect does not mean that police have stopped investigating the case. “We are streamlining our efforts with Selangor police to track down missing five-year-old Sharlinie Mohd Nashar,” said Ku.
He said they are pooling resources to find Sharlinie. “We are using our resources in all the police departments. We have also sought help from the Civil Defence unit.”
Ku, however, declined to disclose the methods used in their search for Sharlinie “There are things that we cannot reveal and this is one of them. All we can say is that we are doing our best to find her,” said Ku.
The security guard was arrested at an abandoned building in Jalan Tun Razak on Sunday and had been investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code for rape.
He was picked up following a tip-off that he resembled the photofit of the Catman, who is wanted in connection with the abduction and molest of several girls.
He also owns a black motorcycle similar to the one used by the Catman when luring his victims.
Another security guard, aged 43, who was picked up on Saturday in Chow Kit, was also released on Tuesday.
Federal CID acting director Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani confirmed the release.
