KOTA BARU: The suspect in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport shooting arrived at the Kota Baru court complex this morning to have his remand order extended.
Clad in lock-up attire, the 38-year-old suspect arrived in court at about 8.35am.
He was escorted by several policemen.
Yesterday, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar said police would seek a seven-day extension of the man's remand order.
He added the man's existing remand order expires today.
Hussein also revealed that the suspect underwent a medical check-up at a private hospital in Kelantan a week before the incident as he planned to work in Saudi Arabia.
He was arrested while collecting his results at the hospital earlier last week.
Hussein said police were close to completing their probe. To date, they have recorded statements from 27 people including the suspect.
In the incident last Sunday, the man allegedly fired two shots, believed to have been aimed at his wife, at KLIA.
One of the shots hit his wife's bodyguard. The victim is being treated in hospital.
The suspect is believed to have bought the gun he used from a Thai national for RM5,000.
