EIGHT Tawau police officers have been remanded for seven days to assist in a murder inquiry, according to Sabah police commissioner Idris Abdullah.

He said the police have set up a special team to investigate the case.

“We have not issued a detailed statement about this case as it is still too early and for fear that it could interfere with the investigation,” he said in a statement today.

Idris said a press conference will be held after the investigation is completed.

He also urged the media against making any speculations, especially about security issues in the state. – Bernama, January 28, 2023.
