‘Hong Kong businessman was not carrying ransom money’


KOTA KINABALU: A Hong Kong businessman who died in a road accident in Sandakan on Saturday was carrying money for his personal use and not likely for the purpose of securing the release of his kidnapped fish farm manager.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman said a total of RM3,000 in assorted currencies was found at the scene where Kee Kwok Edien, 63, and three others in a taxi were killed in the accident at Batu 21, Jalan Labuk.
