KUALA LANGAT, 13 SEPTEMBER, 2010: Greed is believed to be the motif of the gruesome murders of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and three of her acquaintances.

Investigations revealed that the three other murder victims, bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, Sosilawati’s driver Kamaruddin Shamsud¬din, 44, and lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, were accompanying the cosmetic mogul to Banting to ask for a refund from a land-buying deal from the Datuk lawyer suspect.

The refund is reported to be in the millions belonging to Sosilawati and was for a purchase of a land in Pulau Pinang.

It is believed that, while negotiating on the amount to be refunded, the suspect tricked Sosilawati and her three acquaintances to follow him to his farm Ladang Gandong in Tanjong Sepat and killed them here.

Police are not omitting the possibility that hired killers and gangsters were involved in the murders.

Police are still searching for evidence to prove that the four victims were murdered. A 30.5 centimetre metal rod with a hoe at one end is believed to be one of the murder weapons used against the victims. Police divers are searching for the long hoe in Sungai Kanchong Laut. Among other things found in the river were burnt remains, gold watch and jewelleries believed to be belonging to the victims.

Incidentally, investigations also revealed that the suspect is a life-member of a political party and had previously provided legal aid to Hindraf.

Investigations also revealed that the Datuk suspect had also been involved in several four other murders. One of the victims includes a 19-year old woman from India and the other three were businesspersons.

A source said that the Indian national came to Malaysia early this year to open up a restaurant. The Datuk is said to have murdered her after a disagreement between the two. The argument is believed to arose after the victim realised the Datuk had swindled her.
