The unidentified suspect, who was thought to have been hiding in the Kg Pondo settlement on the island, has slipped out of his hiding place in a boat under hundreds of wooden stilt houses of the island. Police suspect he might have gone into the jungles on the island after he slipped away early on Thursday (Feb 6). I believe we will be able to get him," he said, advising the public not to be unduly worried. All victims are believed to have been "hanging" out along the wooden bridge of the stilt houses when the attack happened. He said police had eased the lockdown in and out of the island but were continuing to check the movements of islanders.
