Pahang police chief Sharifudin Ab Ghani said the photofit of one of the three suspects believed to be involved in the incident was made following initial investigation carried out and information received from the public.
"The man was the first suspect who entered the compound of the victim's house before giving his salutation.
"The suspect was believed to be attired in black and wore a scull cap, had brown skin with white hair and moustache, a beard, muscular body, fine eyebrows, medium nose and thin lips," he told reporters in Kuantan today.
He said the photofit produced was believed to be 70 percent accurate and the suspect was believed to be involved in shooting the victim.
According to the police investigation, the second suspect was a man in his 40s, while the third suspect was believed to be the driver of the white-coloured Proton Wira Aeroback who was still being investigated, he added.
Sharifudin said police also did not rule out the possibility that the suspects concerned were members of a deviationist group called Tuhan Harun.
"Police are also investigating the details on the car used by the suspect in the incident as well as several other vehicles which were claimed to be lingering in the area near the victim’s house before the incident," he said.
In the incident, Ahmad Raffli died after being shot by the suspect who came to his house in Indera Mahkota 2, near Kuantan in a white-coloured Proton Wira Aeroback.
Followers urged to cooperate
Meanwhile, Sharifudin also appealed to followers of the sect with information on the fatal shooting of Ahmad Raffli to contact the nearest police station to assist in the investigation.
He said police did not dismiss the possibility that the suspects in the case were followers of the group, while police would also investigate the case from various aspects.
"We will find out whether the suspects are still in the state or not.
"So far, no Tuhan Harun followers or members of other deviant religious groups have come to any police station to give their cooperation with regard to the case," he said.
He also appealed to the public to cooperate with police if they come across a man who looks like the photofit of a suspect which police began distributing today.
Sharifudin said anyone with information on the case should call Kuantan police at 09-51 32 222, Kuantan IPD operations rooms (09-51 42 999), Kuantan CID chief Zakaria Abu Kassim (019-38 22 020) and investigating officer Zukri Muhammad (013-97 64 999).
Ahmad Raffli had earlier been handling two cases under the syariah criminal law involving the Tuhan Harun deviant sect and the preaching of Shiite teachings.
