Key suspect in Cyberjaya hit-and-run accident remanded for another day

SEPANG (Bernama): The remand order against a 23-year-old Libyan man, the key suspect in a hit-and-run incident in Cyberjaya, has been extended for another day, until Tuesday (Oct 23).

The order was issued by Sepang Court assistant registrar Alpha Dragam on Monday (Oct 22).

The Libyan national was among four people, including a Malaysian woman, detained by the police in connection with incident which caused the death of a Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) Unifi employee at Shaftsbury Square, Cyberjaya last Wednesday (Oct 17).

The man was at the wheel of a silver Hyundai car, which was involved in the accident.

Lawyer Jeremy Vinesh Anthony, who represented the suspect, said two of the suspects - a Libyan man and a local woman - who were detained with his client, had been released.

Another, a 22-year-old Yemeni, was brought to the court on Monday to obtain an order to extend his remand.

The victim, 31-year-old Wan Amirah Wan Alias, was hit by the car as she was crossing Shaftsbury Square at 7.30pm. She was dragged for several metres along the road.

She suffered serious injuries and was taken to Putrajaya Hospital where she died the following day. - Bernama
