KUALA LUMPUR – The Selangor Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) has announced a RM20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin’s murder suspect.
“Yes, the information regarding the reward (from MCPF) for Zayn Rayyan’s case is true,” MCPF said when contacted.
Earlier today, Selangor MCPF deputy chairman Datuk Seri A. Thaiveegan announced the foundation’s reward for any individual who can provide leads on a suspect in the murder of the 6-year-old autistic boy last year.
The reward would be channelled through the Selangor police, he was reported saying earlier today.
The investigation into Zayn Rayyan’s murder is still ongoing, though police have yet to find any new leads two months after his death.
The boy was reported missing on December 5 after playing at the playground of Idaman Apartments in Damansara Damai, where he lived, and was found dead in a nearby stream.
Police have said that he was likely murdered elsewhere before his body was placed there. Post-mortem results revealed strangulation marks around his neck.
Police have collected DNA samples from over 200 residents at the Idaman Apartments and have also sought Interpol’s help. – February 6, 2024
