Malaysian police arrested the seven people following Friday’s pre-dawn attack on a police station that killed two cops and injured another.

Two policemen were killed and one was injured in an attack by an intruder at the Ulu Tiram police station on May 17,2024. The pre-dawn attack killed two police officers and injured another.

Mr Muhammad Zahier leads a team from the non-profit National Legal Aid Foundation appointed to represent all seven people who were arrested. Police deemed it was “not logical” for them to be reporting a separate incident that allegedly took place two years ago, implying that the couple was making the report as a distraction and that they might have been involved in Friday’s attack.Mr Muhammad Zahier told CNA before a court session on Saturday morning that his team had spoken to all seven who were nabbed. During the interview, the woman informed him of her nationality.

He also told CNA that all seven individuals, including the woman, have been ordered to be remanded for seven more days.
