As a special police task force continues investigating Saturday’s missing person report lodged by Kevin’s younger brother Datuk Richard Morais, this link could be one angle investigators would be focussing on.
Kevin was previously seconded to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission and has since returned to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC). Since he went missing, speculation has been rife that Morais, during his tenure with the MACC, was involved in its probe into various high profile cases.
Both the MACC and the AGC have denied Morais’ involvement in any such probe, and urged the public to stop speculating and to allow police to investigate.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar had ruled out any link between Najadi’s killing and 1MDB, but now with Morais’ disappearance police are relooking at the July 29, 2013 shooting incident.
On that day, Najadi and his wife Chong Mei Kuen were leaving the Guan Yin temple when they were ambushed by a lone gunman in the Lorong Ceylon carpark.
Wearing dark glasses and a cap, the gunman fired repeatedly before escaping in a taxi.
It was reported that Najadi and Mei Kuen were leaving after discussing a multimillion ringgit land deal transaction with another individual when tragedy befell them.
Now, The Rakyat Post has learnt the missing DPP might have had some knowledge about the meeting. Whether this information had been relayed to police is only known to investigators.
The poser being raised is whether Najadi was the gunman’s intended target, or whether it was the other individual he was reportedly meeting.
Police are aware of the identity of the said individual, believed to be a Datuk, and will call him for further interviews regarding the shooting and also the case involving the missing DPP.
Besides this, police are also looking through Morais’ case files to see his conviction record, and also pending matters.
News of the DPPs mysterious disappearance has left colleagues at the AGC and within the legal fraternity dumbfounded and at their wits end.
In his mid-50s, Morais was described as someone who took his profession seriously and acted without fear or favour.
When numerous calls from friends and relatives went unanswered, Richard was informed and he lodged a report at the Jinjang police station just before 6pm the following day.
The discovery of a burnt out car shell in Hutan Melintang, Perak has heightened anxiety for Morais’ relatives and friends over his wellbeing.
Following Najadi’s murder, a taxi driver was convicted as an accomplice to the killing. The gunman faces the hangman’s noose following his conviction for murdering Najadi, and the attempted murder of his wife.
A businessman with purported links to the underworld remains a fugitive, as he is reportedly the individual who hired the gunman.
