Perak police chief Comm Datuk Hasnan Hassan said police arrested two suspects who were with the teenager during the rescue in Penang on Sept 5. "The father of the victim is a second-hand dealer of car parts and accessories living in Taiping. He lodged a police report on Sept 3 after receiving a call the night before that his son had been kidnapped," said Comm Hasnan at a press conference on Wednesday. The kidnappers had initially demanded a RM3mil ransom and threatened to kill the victim if their demands were not met. Comm Hasnan said all suspects were remanded until Sept 18 to assist in investigations under Section 3 of the Kidnapping Act 1961.
