BANTING (Sept 12, 2010): Cosmetic millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, 47, and three others have been murdered and their bodies burnt and ashes strewn at a river near Ladang Gadong, in Tanjong Sepat, hear here, police said.
Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin said however that police still needed the forensic confirmation to fully ascertain the matter.
He was speaking at a news conference at Banting police headquarters here.
Three others were Sosilawati's driver Kamaruddin Shamsudin, 44, CIMB Kampung Baru bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, and her personal lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32.
They were reported missing since Aug 30 after going here for a land purchase deal.
Earlier, a police forensic team arrived at the farm in Tanjong Sepat near here around noon, bringing with them two men in lock-up attire, believed to be among those picked up in connection with the disappearance of Sosilawati and three others.
The media, who were at the entrance of the Ladang Gadong integrated farm, saw two convoys of police cars entering the site with at least two men in lock-up attire inside.
A policeman said they were taken to a site about 100m from the main road, believed to be part of the investigations into the disappearance of Sosilawati, the founder of Nouvelle Visages (NV) cosmetic line.
The forensic team had also gone to a restaurant about four kilometres from the scene as part of the investigations into the case.
Police helicopters were seen hovering over the area.
Incoming Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar told reporters in Kuala Lumpur that police believed they would be able to solve the case swiftly following the arrest of at least four men.
He declined to reveal the identities of suspects although there were speculations that two of them were lawyers.
A relative of Sosilawati when met at the millionaire's home in Gombak said police contacted them this afternoon on the likelihood that the millionaire's remains had been found in Tanjong Sepat.
"But they will have to carry a DNA test to confirm it," he said.
Sosilawati's ex-husband known only as Buhari was seen entering the house at about 12.30pm.
Sosilawati and the three others were reported missing nearly two weeks ago after coming here for a land purchase deal.
A week later, police found Sosilawati's BMW at Angsana Apartment in USJ 1, Subang Jaya and the BMW of Ahmad Kamil at a housing estate in front of a hotel in Subang Jaya. -- Bernama
