He said the suspect then got back into the Honda Jazz with the stolen items and cash and sped off, resulting in the crash on Jalan Kemajuan, as captured on dashcam.
“A check by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) found that the Honda Jazz driven by the suspect belonged to his brother and was not a stolen vehicle as claimed and circulated on social media,” he said.
Azli therefore urged the public not to spread unverified information, out of respect for the victim’s family.
He also called on all parties to give the police space to carry out a thorough and transparent investigation to ensure justice is served.
“The suspect will be detained for investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 once he has completed his surgery and fully recovered,” he said.
In the incident at 1.55pm, the victim, Syakirah Hanan Mazli, 25, who was travelling from UniSZA towards Bukit Kecil, was hit by a Honda Jazz coming from the opposite direction as she turned right after the traffic light turned green.
The second-semester postgraduate diploma in education student died on the spot.
