KUALA LUMPUR: Police today summoned several people to assist investigations following the arrests of the parents of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin on Friday.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said among those called in today were the child's former babysitter and two of his family members.
He said the purpose of summoning these individuals was to record their statements to complete the ongoing investigation.
"They have been called to assist and complete the police investigation.
"There is a possibility that we will summon other individuals in the future, but it will depend on the needs of the investigation," he said.
Yesterday, it was reported that police seized the mobile phones of Zayn Rayyan's parents for further investigation.
Hussein had said that the seizure was standard operating procedure (SOP) in such investigations.
On Saturday, Hussein had confirmed in a press statement that police had detained both of Zayn Rayyan's parents the day before.
He had said the arrests were carried out by a team from the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department.
Police on Saturday obtained a remand order from the Petaling Jaya magistrates court to detain both for seven days.
