KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman aims to provide closure to the families of the two fallen personnel following the charging of five suspects for terrorism-related offences in connection with the Ulu Tiram police station attack last month.
The five suspects, who are relatives of the 21-year-old shooter killed during the incident, had been charged, said Bukit Aman Special Branch E8 (Counter Terrorism) assistant director Senior Assistant Commissioner Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal.
"We hope that the families of Constable Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar and Constable Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said will find some closure now that charges have been filed against the suspects in court," he said.
Sources indicated that no further arrests are anticipated following the charging of the five family members of the assailant.
"We also do not foresee additional charges against these suspects," the source said.
Earlier today, the five family members appeared in court facing various charges, including incitement to terrorism and promoting the Islamic State (IS) ideology.
Among those charged were the man's father, 62-year-old Radin Imran Radin Mohd Yassin, and his mother, 59-year-old Rosna Jantan, who holds Singaporean citizenship.
The five suspects were apprehended under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) following the attack.
Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said that the Special Branch would handle the investigation under Sosma, while the Criminal Investigation Department continued its probe into murder and firearms-related offences.
Razarudin also said that although the shooter was not associated with Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), his father, Radin Imran, was previously recorded as a JI member in police records.
He added that the family had remained isolated from the community.
The deceased suspect had attended school only until Year Four, while his youngest sibling did not attend school at all. His other brother completed Form Five, and one sister finished Year Six.
The attack, which took place at 2.54am on May 17, resulted in the deaths of two policemen: Constable Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, 22, and Constable Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24. Another policeman, Corporal Mohd Hasif Roslan, sustained critical injuries.
The 21-year-old assailant was subsequently shot dead.
