FBI to help in Nurin murder probe

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the investigative arm of the US Department of Justice, has agreed to assist police here to enhance the clarity of the blurred web-camera image of the person carrying the sports bag in which Nurin Jazlin Jazimin’s body was found.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the FBI had the technology to get a clearer image.

“One of our officers left last night for the United States with the web-camera recording and we hope they can help produce a clearer image so that we can pick up the person for questioning.

“We are doing everything we can to arrest whoever murdered Nurin. There will be no let-up in our investigations,” he told reporters after presenting Hari Raya goodies to his men in Bukit Aman yesterday.

Musa said police had some good leads and his officers were working tirelessly to identify Nurin Jazlin’s killer. He appealed to the public to continue to provide information and vowed to follow up on every tip-off given to them. Nurin Jazlin went missing on Aug 20 after she went to a night market by herself near her house in Section 1, Wangsa Maju, in Setapak. Her body was found stuffed in a sports bag at a three-storey shop lot in Petaling Utama on Sept 17.

A post-mortem showed that she had been sexually assaulted.
