JOHOR BARU: The two policemen killed in the attack on the Ulu Tiram police station have been given a royal-send off by Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia.
Her Majesty arrived at the Tunku Laksamana Abdul Jalil Mosque here at 11.45am for prayers for Constables Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar and Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said.
Also present were Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, State Secretary Tan Sri Dr Azmi Rohani, and Johor police chief Commissioner M.Kumar, among other dignitaries.
The bodies of Constable Ahmad Azza and Constable Muhamad Syafiq are expected to be claimed by their relatives today to be buried in their respective hometowns.
Earlier today, seven individuals who were arrested yesterday over the attack were brought to the Magistrate's Court here to obtain a remand order.
They include five family members, aged between 19 and 62, of a suspect who was killed in the incident.
The other two individuals are students of a higher education institution (IPT) students.
Meanwhile, at a press conference, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that the suspect who was shot dead by police at the scene of the attack was a "lone wolf" and is not linked to any group.
The suspect, he added, was a 21-year-old Malaysian and had acted on his own motivations.
"We believe (he acted on his own) as he disassociated himself from the public," Saifuddin said at the state police headquarters here today.
"He was known to be a quiet person who rarely interacted with villagers."
