LANGKAWI: Police have picked up a married couple to assist in an investigation into a case of a missing three-year-old girl under their care.
Langkawi police chief Supt Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said Ramlan Abdul Rashid, 37, and his wife Wan Roslina Wan Jusoh, 40, were arrested in Ampang at 4pm.
“Both suspects were apprehended in a house in Ampang at 4pm. However the girl was not found with them,” he said in a statement here today.
Mohd Iqbal said the couple would be brought to Langkawi for further investigations tomorrow.
The girl, Nur Aisyah Aleya Abdullah, was discovered missing when her mother, Rosmaliah Samo, went to pick her up from the couple’s house in Langkawi Hospital quarters last week.
Ramlan, who is also Rosmaliah’s boyfriend, later told her the girl had been handed over to a third party to be taken care of.
Rosmaliah lodged a police report last Sunday (March 3). – Bernama
