IPOH, Oct 1 — Perak police have recorded statements from nine people, including the victim, in their investigation into the shooting of a businessman at a petrol station in Bidor Sentral last Tuesday.
Perak Police Chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said those whose statements were recorded included three family members who were in the victim’s vehicle, two people in a vehicle near the scene and employees of the petrol station.
