CRADLE Fund Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Nazrin Hassan’s death has been classified as murder after evidence suggested elements of foul play.
Selangor CID chief SAC Fadzil Ahmat said in a statement that the case had been classfied as murder after traces of petrol were found in Nazrin’s room.
“The case is being investigated for murder.
“We were alerted by the Fire and Rescue department after lab results showed traces of petrol on his head, bedframe and mattress, as well as on his handphone,” Fadzil said.
Nazrin’s family had said his handphone exploded, causing the fire, but this was dismissed by Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Azmi Osman, who said it was premature to speculate that the phone was the cause.
Cradle had issued a statement saying Nazrin died from blast injuries attributed to an exploding handphone that was being charged next to him.
It was reported that the purported message from Nazrin’s family included other unverified details, such as that Nazrin’s device overheated and exploded, causing blunt force trauma to the back of the head, killing Nazrin.
The message also alleged that Nazrin was dead before the bed caught fire, partially burning his body.
However, preliminary investigations revealed that Nazrin likely died of smoke inhalation after the bedroom at his double-storey terrace house in Mutiara Damansara caught fire.
He suffered burns on 30% of his body.
The incident took place on June 14, one day before the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. – August 6, 2018.
