According to Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, the 38-year-old suspect, Hafizul Hawari, was planning to hide in Thailand.
This possibility arises from the seizure of foreign currency and other items from the suspect.
Shuhaily said that while the police were unsure of the details of Hafizul's plan to escape, they seized foreign currency, a passport, and falsified IDs when he was arrested yesterday.
"This follows the discovery of a sum of cash in Riyal and Baht currency in the suspect's possession. The suspect also underwent a health check-up at a private hospital [in Kota Bharu]," he told Sinar Daily.
