JOHOR police have given the assurance the investigation into an alleged apostasy case would be conducted in a fair and transparent manner.

Police chief Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said they are still tracking down the 29-year-old suspect.

He also said police had recorded statements from the suspect’s 64-year-old father and 34-year-old sister to facilitate investigations.

“According to his father and sister, the suspect has not lived in the house, which was recently inspected by police, for a long time,” he told reporters after handing over 34 Toyota Hilux GS-Cargo Single Cab 2.4 vehicles worth RM5.3 million to the Johor police contingent today.

A non-Muslim man claimed in a video, which has since gone viral, to have persuaded a Muslim woman, believed to be his wife, to leave her religion. – Bernama, February 25, 2021.
