KANGAR: Eleven foreigners are being investigated for murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code following a boat collision that killed a Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) sailor.
Kedah and Perlis Maritime director First Admiral Romli Mustafa said the suspects comprised nine undocumented Myanmar migrants and two Thai boat skippers.
Leading Seaman (Technical) Mohd Roshaimi Mohd Ridzuan, 41, was killed when the suspects' boat allegedly pinned the MMEA vessel during an operation to intercept it in the waters off Kuala Sungai Padang, causing the enforcement vessel to crash into a concrete structure along the coast.
Romli said the suspects were initially believed to have committed offences under the Immigration Act and the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (Atipsom).
