Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said speculation would only disrupt investigations and confuse the public.

“The police will continue investigating and will await the case mention on December 15,” he said in a statement today.

Last Friday, 11 individuals, including a woman, were charged at the Magistrate’s Court in Kuala Lumpur for kidnapping a Palestinian national, Omar Z. M. Albelbaisy, to obtain information about software used to hack mobile phones.
