KOTA BHARU: The refusal of a gold shop owner to hand over 30kg of gold is believed to be the main motive behind his abduction in Palekbang, Tumpat on May 20, says Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat.
He said the 44-year-old victim had allegedly declined a demand from the group for the gold, prompting the suspects to kidnap him in what is believed to be an attempt to extort money.
