PETALING JAYA, May 9 — Police are analysing the fingerprints found at the scene of the acid attack on Harimau Malaya winger Faisal Halim at a shopping centre in Petaling Jaya on Sunday.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said CCTV footage from the shopping centre showed the suspect touching several areas or places.
“We extracted some of the fingerprints that were left there; we are still waiting for the analysis of these fingerprints,” he said when met by reporters after visiting the scene at the shopping centre here today.
He said police have not been able to identify the suspect as they were wearing a cap and CCTVs did not capture their face.
Regarding a suspect arrested earlier, Shuhaily said investigators were conducting interrogations and no new information had been received.
He added that police have contacted Selangor FC’s two top managers for their statements on the police report they made.
Shuhaily said no recent arrests were made and asked the public not to believe unverified reports.
On Sunday, Faisal was splashed with acid at a shopping centre in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, at about 5pm.
He suffered fourth-degree burns on his body and face.
