Mechanic shocked that his ex-boss may be behind Tapah murders

Honest profession: Xavier repairing a car at his workshop in Jalan Pahang, Tapah.

TAPAH: A former employee of the main suspect in the grisly murders of four people here does not believe that his ex-boss was capable of such a heinous crime.

Mechanic Xavier Thomas, 36, said the suspect had been very nice to him during his two-year employment at the 57-year-old suspect’s workshop in Kampar in 1998.
