A COUPLE detained over the death of Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd CEO Nazrin Hassan have been released today.

The Shah Alam High Court today ordered their release after allowing an application by lawyer L.S. Leonard, representing the couple, who are Nazrin’s sister-in-law and her husband, against the four-day remand order issued by the Petaling Jaya magistrates’ court assistant last Monday.

Judge Ab Karim Ab Rahman made the order.  

The remand order against the woman and her husband, aged 39 and 41, respectively, was supposed to expire tomorrow.

Ab Karim said the four-day remand against the couple was too long and police did not provide strong grounds to detain them.

“To remand them for that period, there has to be relevant and solid grounds. Any further action, as stated in the grounds given by the police to remand the couple, can be done without the presence of the suspects,” he added. — Bernama, September 26, 2018.
