KUALA LUMPUR: The eight suspects in the murder of cosmetics millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three others were taken to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital Wednesday for what is believed to be DNA profiling.
They were taken to the Emergency and Trauma Department of the hospital around 3pm in a police truck escorted by two patrol cars from the Bukit Jalil detention centre.

Seven of the suspects, in orange-coloured lockup attire and one, in the purple-coloured attire, were taken into a room where it is believed DNA samples were obtained from them. They were seen leaving the premises about 5pm under tight police security. Hundreds of people, among them journalists, doctors, nurses and patients, watched as the suspects arrived at the hospital and departed for the detention centre later.

Sosilawati, 47, her driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, and CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, were killed, their bodies burnt and the ashes thrown into rivers in the vicinity of Ladang Gadong near Banting, Selangor. All four were reported missing on Aug 30 after they had gone to Banting over a land deal. - Bernama
