Suspects are ‘clean’

KULAI: The four suspects in the kidnap and murder of 16-year-old Lai Ying Xin were not on drugs nor did they have criminal records, said Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff.

“They are young boys and the youngest is only 16,” he said when visiting Ying Xin’s house in Taman Gunung Pulai yesterday.

“The special task force is working round the clock to complete the probe as soon as possible,” he said.

Personal briefing: DCP Mohd Mokhtar updating Chia Siew Phen,45, and Lai Then Song,48,about their daughter Ying Xin's below)case at their house in Taman Gunung Rapat Pulai Thursday.

He added that police were still waiting for the DNA report and test results before they could release Ying Xin’s body to the family.

DCP Mohd Mokhtar said that the investigations papers would be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor’s office as soon as possible and police would recommend that the suspects be charged immediately.

He said the motive of the kidnap and murder was still under investigation, but added that the cause of death was manual strangulation.

Ying Xin’s partially burnt body was found in some bushes in Taman Putri, Kulai, on Sept 16 after the SMK Sultan Ibrahim student failed to return home from her part-time work on Sept 11.

It was learnt that a ransom of RM60,000 was demanded, but police believed that the victim was murdered before the kidnappers contacted the family.

Police arrested the four suspects, aged between 16 and 22, early Tuesday morning and discovered Ying Xin’s body after questioning them.

JB STUDENT, 16, FOUND DEAD
Strangled, torched, then abandoned here

September 19, 2008

AMONG her closest friends, she was known as 'the girl who had it all'.

Lai Ying Xin, 16, was not studious, but always did well in examinations.

She was also pretty and came from a well-to-do family, but she was not snobbish.

However, the girl, - who was known fondly as 'Yinx' to her friends - will never fulfil the bright future that seemed mapped out for her.

The Johor Baru student was kidnapped and murdered, and her body was then burnt and abandoned.

On Tuesday, her charred body was discovered in some bushes in Johor Baru's Taman Putri neighbourhood.

Ying Xin had been kidnapped last Thursday and had been held for a ransom of RM60,000 ($25,000). But her family reportedly managed to raise only half that sum.

It is believed that the girl was killed within 24 hours of her abduction, even before the ransom was paid.

The police were led to her body by four suspects aged between 16 and 22. It is believed that one of them was her boyfriend.

She is believed to have been murdered elsewhere before her body was torched and dumped in Taman Putri.

Ying Xin, a student of Kulai Secondary School, also worked part-time in a supermarket as a salesgirl.


She is believed to have been kidnapped while on her way home.

One of her classmates, who did not want to be named, described her as 'the one who had the latest hairstyle and knew the latest (music) albums'.

The classmate told the New Straits Times: 'She was pretty, kind, smart and down-to-earth. She was not like one of those who had it all but was snobbish.'

Ying Xin had scored seven distinctions last year in the Penilaian Menengah Rendah exams, a Malaysian public exam taken by Form 3 students.

The classmate, who said that Ying Xin had a sister and brother, added: 'Yinx came from a well-to-do-family. She did not need the part-time job. But I think she took it since she enjoyed shopping.'

Another student claimed Ying Xin's family had kept the incident a secret as they did not want her grandmother, who is in poor health, to know about the grisly murder.
'Yinx was close to her (grandmother). Her family is afraid that she will not be able to take the news that Yinx was brutally murdered,' the friend said.

Generous

Ying Xin's best friend, Lee Sher Li, 16, described her as a 'really good girl' who never got into any trouble and who was always generous with her friends.

'She was a very good student and even treated us to meals and movies once in a while,' Sher Li told The Star.

She added that Ying Xin attended tuition classes with her and would go over to her house to do homework together.

Sher Li said that she made it a point to speak to or send an SMS to Ying Xin every day and was surprised when she could not reach her last Saturday.

'I tried calling her handphone, but was confused, worried and anxious when I could not get through to her,' Sher Li said.

'Later, I heard that she had been kidnapped. I am shocked over her murder.'

Another classmate, Tham Yi Xin, 16, also said she heard that her friend had been kidnapped but was shocked to hear she had been murdered.

'I can't believe it,' she said.

A teacher, who declined to be named, described Ying Xin as a 'good student who was also active in co-curricular activities'.

A police spokesman said Ying Xin was bundled into a silver Perodua Kembara by the suspects. The vehicle has since been seized by the police.

Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah, Johor Baru's deputy police chief, said Ying Xin knew one of the kidnappers.

'The kidnappers were afraid the victim would point them out once she was released after the ransom was paid,' he told the New Straits Times.

He added that Ying Xin's mother had received a call demanding a ransom last Friday.

The family had earlier made a missing person's report when Ying Xin did not return home as she usually did by 9pm last Thursday.

After negotiating with the kidnappers, the family agreed on the ransom amount of $25,000.

The family put whatever money they had raised into a sports bag, which they dropped off at a secluded area in Kulai in the wee hours of Monday.

Arrests

Later the same day, police arrested a 16-year old school dropout and two men in their 20s who were driving around the area.

Part of the ransom was found on the suspects. They later arrested another 16-year-old in Taman Putri.

The four suspects then led the police to a quiet road in Taman Putri where Ying Xin's partially burnt body was found.

The suspects have will be remanded until 21 Sep to help in investigations.

The autopsy report revealed that Ying Xin had been strangled before her body was torched.

The report also showed she had not been sexually assaulted.
