Riot probe: Seven of 44 individuals have surrendered so far
By R.S.N. MURALI
KUALA TERENGGANU: Seven people have so far surrendered to police in connection with the Sept 8 riot at Batu Burok, here.
Two more individuals, both labourers aged 22 and 25 from Kampung Kolam Air, Kuala Ibai, gave themselves up at 11.45am, on Thursday after one of their friends spotted their pictures in the newspaper.
State Deputy CID chief Supt Khairi Ahrasa said their statements had been recorded. The police expect a few more to surrender as the Friday deadline for the launch of the police manhunt draws near.
``We are not going to deliberately arrest anyone. Our probe is fair, therefore they don't have to afraid,'' he said here, on Thursday.
He said police had released four of the individuals who had surrendered; they were on police bail after their statements were recorded.
The police on Wednesday said that it would launch a manhunt on Friday to find the 44 individuals sought to facilitate the probe into the Sept 8 riot.
