KUCHING (Sept 19): Investigations into the riot in the car park behind the Kanowit District Office last week are actively being carried out, said Sarawak Police Commissioner Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri.
He said there have been no new developments so far but he was confident the case, whereby two victims were assaulted by a group of men armed with sticks on Sept 12, will be tackled soon.
“In-depth investigations are ongoing and with a bit more time, I believe we can solve the case soon,” he said in a press conference announcing the crippling of the ‘Dedek Gang’ involved in robbery cases at the Kuching district police headquarters today.
