Thursday November 6, 2008
PETALING JAYA: A “Bonnie and Clyde ” team were among four people killed in shootouts with police in separate incidents.
The couple were shot dead following a two-hour standoff yesterday, after shooting and wounding a police officer who had gone to investigate them at Green Acre Park in Bandar Sungai Long, Kajang,
Chief Insp Ang Weai Leong, 29, had led a six-man team to the condominium at 2am and was shot in his right and left calf when he entered their unit on the first floor.
Criminal Investigations Depart- ment (CID) director Commissioner Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said they were being investigated for armed robbery of about 32 luxury cars valued at RM3mil.
He said the team was shot at when it entered the premises and reinforcements were sent in.
“We tried negotiating with the armed robbers who refused our demand to surrender peacefully,” he said.
They stormed the unit and shot dead the couple in the ensuing shootout.
Comm Mohd Bakri said the two had identity cards of a man named Goh Kiam Chye, 40, and a woman, Wong Sau Lai, 20.
Wong was believed to have rammed a police patrol car in May. She was arrested but jumped bail.
In Puchong, police shot dead two Indonesians in Kampung Tengah, believed to be hired killers and wanted in the killing of a couple in Klang on Aug 21.
Selangor Chief Police Officer Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said police officers saw them on a motorcycle at 12.20pm and ordered them to stop but one of them shot at them and police had no choice but to return fire.
Police found a bloodstained T-shirt, slippers, torchlight and a spent shell by a river nearby, leading them to believe that the duo had just shot dead or injured someone.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police would not hesitate to use force to combat daring and dangerous criminals when the safety of police personnel came under threat while on duty.
