Morais murder: Najib orders police to take swift action

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak wants the police to take swift action in the murder of Attorney-General Chambers' Appellate and Trial Division deputy chief Anthony Kevin Morais.

He also condemned the murder and expressed condolences to the deceased's family.

"I strongly condemn the outrageous murder of DPP Kevin Morais. Condolences to his family. @PDRMsia must take swift action & investigate this case," he said in his Twitter here Wednesday.

Morais' body was found stuffed in a cement-filled drum in Subang Jaya early Wednesday, after one of several suspects in the case led police to the scene.

The DPP went missing on Sept 4, while driving to work in Putrajaya from his condominium in Menara Duta, Kuala Lumpur.
