Cops name AmBank founder’s shooter, nab 3 other suspects

KUALA LUMPUR - City police today named Kong Swee Kwan as the main suspect behind the high-profile murder of Arab-Malaysian Bank founder Hussain Ahmad Najadi.

Three other people, believed to be involved in the killing, have also been arrested.
Kong, 44, is at large but is believed to be still in the country, Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah told reporters.

A second suspect, a 42-year-old man, has been taken in for questioning.

“He is believed to be at the crime scene with the taxi driver and the shooter.

“Yesterday at 10pm, we went to his house but he was not in. He later came and surrendered at the IPK here,” Ku told a news conference at the city police contingent headquarters (IPK).

Ku also said two Kuan Yin temple trustees, both women aged 47 and 61, were also being held for questioning to “shed light on the motive of the killing”.
