Jaip enforcement head shot dead

The head of the enforcement division of the Pahang Islamic Religious Department (Jaip) was shot dead at his house in Indera Mahkota 2 near here Sunday.

According to a police source, Mohd Raffli Ab Malik was shot at thrice and died instantly after two bullets hit him in the chest in the 2pm incident.

"Three suspects are believed to be involved in the shooting," the source told Bernama.

He said the trio made their getaway in a white Proton Wira Aeroback car.

"The suspects were all wearing black coloured clothes and donned "kopiahs" (skullcaps)," he said.

Later, speaking to reporters at the victim's house, Pahang CID chief SAC Mohd Zakaria Ahmad said in the incident, Mohd Raffli, 49, was resting in the living room with his family when the car with the three suspects, all dressed as described by the source, pulled up at the house.2

He said then one of the suspects, believed to be in his 50s, got out of the car and asked Mohd Raffli to come out of the house.

"As he was coming out, another of the suspects, in his 30s, rushed out from the back seat of the car and fired three shots at him," he said, adding that two of the shots hit him in the chest while the other went astray.

"Police believe the suspects had staked out the place as it took them just a minute to murder the victim," he added.

Zakaria said police were investigating the case from all angles to establish the motive for the pre-meditated murder.
