The Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Yahaya Hassan stated that a manhunt has been initiated to capture the suspect, who is believed to be involved in several other cases in the area. He added that they are hopeful that his capture could lead to the resolution of additional crimes. The case is currently being investigated under Section 392/397 of the Penal Code.
