| Searching for clues: Policemen at the crime scene where a bomb explosion killed a clerk at Taman Seri Periuk in Kampung Periuk. |
KOTA BHARU, 13 August: Kelantan police have formed a special
task force to investigate the bomb explosion that killed a clerk in
Tumpat on Sunday. State deputy police chief Datuk Mazlan Lazim said the team would be led by Tumpat deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Shariffuddin Yusof.
He said police would conduct a full investigation in which all aspects would be looked into. “This includes the motive and identifying if the bomb used was a fish bomb or a bomb used by militants in southern Thailand.
“Early investigations show that the package was filled with homemade
explosives. We have taken samples of the residue and sent it to the
Chemistry Department to determine the type of explosive used,” he said
at the state police headquarters yesterday.
In the 11am
incident, the victim, Mohd Yusrizal Mat Zain, 32, died after the
package, which he had taken from the top of a Naza Citra MPV in front of
his in-law’s home at Taman Seri Periuk in Kampung Periuk, exploded. Both his hands were severed and he was disemboweled. Yusrizal was a clerk at SRK Manek Urai di Kuala Krai.
On the second explosion heard at 4.40pm, Mazlan said it was not caused
by the residue of the explosion that killed Yusrizal but from rubbish
found in a polystyrene container. He said the incident was an isolated case and the public need not worry.
In an unrelated case, Mazlan said that a 29-year-old man was arrested
in Kampung Pantai Damar, Bachok, last Sunday for the alleged murder of
Mohd Nazaimi Mat Nawi, also 29. The victim, who was sleeping at his uncle’s home, was stabbed with a knife at 3pm.
