Namewee’s bail period extended as police await lab results


KUALA LUMPUR: The bail period for local rapper Wee Meng Chee (pic), better known as Namewee, has been extended for another two weeks.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus confirmed that the extension was granted at 4pm on Wednesday (Nov 26), covering the period from Nov 27 until Dec 10.

"The police are still waiting on the full post-mortem and toxicology report," he said.

Investigations revealed that Namewee was the last person seen with the 31-year-old victim in a hotel room here at around 1.40pm on Oct 22.

He was subsequently arrested for alleged possession and use of drugs, but was released after pleading not guilty to drug-related charges at the Jalan Duta Court on Oct 24.
