“We are still investigating the case; we never halted it at any point. If there are any new developments, we will share them with the media,” he said when asked to comment on the investigation, which was started exactly a month ago today.

Ayob was speaking at PDRM’s joint venture implementation steering committee meeting with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia at Bukit Aman today.

Yesterday, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the police have received feedback from Interpol regarding a database check on some general information obtained during the investigation.

On December 5 last year, Zayn Rayyan, an autistic six-year-old boy, was reported missing from his home at the Idaman Apartment in Damansara Damai.

The following day, his body was found near a stream about 200 metres from the apartment block. An autopsy revealed injuries to his neck and body, concluding that he had been murdered.
