After more than 24 hours after a shooting that left a bodyguard severely injured at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 (KLIA), police have finally managed to capture the man allegedly behind the attack.
38-year-old Hafizul Harawi, who was wanted by police after fleeing the scene, was caught in Kota Baru, Kelantan, at 3pm today.
This was confirmed by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, reported The Star.
Summary of KLIA shooting
At around 1.30am yesterday (Apr 14), a total of two gunshots were fired at KLIA, where a bodyguard sustained serious injuries and is now in a critical condition.
Police investigations later discovered that Hafizul had meant to fire the shots at his estranged wife, a local entrepreneur named Farah Cie.
Instead, the bullets hit her personal bodyguard Mohd Nur Hadith, who still remains in an unconscious state.
Police also found that Hafizul had a long history in getting on the wrong side of the law, where he had three criminal records.
