POLICE unearthed more evidence in the probe into autistic child Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin’s murder, following a second house-to-house inspection at Block R, Idaman Apartment, Damansara Damai last night.

Without revealing further details, Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the items would be sent to the Chemistry Department for analysis to gather more clues to apprehend the suspect responsible for the murder of the six-year-old boy.

“We need to analyse all these findings first and continue to collect sufficient evidence,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.

Hussein said police have instructed residents of the apartment to stay in their homes but they could still go about their daily routine as usual.

He added that the police would contact those involved if there is a need for their participation in a mass DNA screening.

Meanwhile, checks by Bernama at the scene found members of Selangor contingent police headquarters’ forensic unit actively hunting for new clues to solve the mystery surrounding the murder of the SK Damansara Damai 2 pupil.

They were seen actively working at the site at 9.50am earlier today, where Zayn’s body was discovered near Block R, Idaman Apartment, Damansara Damai.

However, media personnel who arrived at the scene as early as 8am were asked to vacate the area around the block to allow police to conduct their probe.

Meanwhile, Zayn’s mother Ismanira Abdul Manaf, 28, conveyed her deep yearning for her son, the elder of two siblings in a post on her Instagram account.

Ismanira shared that on December 4, prior to her eldest son going missing, she and her husband took their two children for a stroll at a shopping centre.

“The two of them loved going around the mall and indulge in meals and despite being tired or busy, Mommy and Daddy will try to take them for such outings,” she shared in the Instagram post.

Zayn was reported missing at noon last Tuesday in Damansara Damai before he was found dead the following day near a stream located about 200m from his residence. – Bernama, December 13, 2023.
