Ulu Tiram police station attack: Cop-killer and family reclusive, lived like hermits, say villagers

JOHOR BAHRU: The man who stormed into the Ulu Tiram police station, killing two and injuring a third policeman before being shot dead, is said to be reclusive like his family, who lived in isolation from the other residents.

A Bernama check of the family’s house in Jalan Rabani in Kampung Sungai Tiram, which is located about seven kilometres from the police station, found that the house of the assailant, who was believed to be a member of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terrorist group, was in a fenced-off private area.
