Police are expected to extend the remand order for two men arrested for allegedly robbing and slashing Dr Delaila Ahmad in front of her clinic in Subang Jaya. Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Yahaya Ramli said the two suspects, aged 20 and 22, were detained on July 19 with the assistance of witnesses as well as the parents of one of the suspects. He said the suspects’ remand order, which expired on Tuesday, is expected to be extended. “We are still investigating the matter and gathering all evidence. “It is true that both of them had confessed to the crime but we want to ensure we have an air tight case,” he said when contacted Tuesday. ACP Yahaya said police are still looking for the weapon used in the crime, which they believed was thrown into the PJS5 river in Sungai Way. It was reported that Dr Delaila was robbed in front of her clinic in SS19 in the wee hours of the morning on July 16 by two suspects. The suspects even severed her thumb and little finger but she has reportedly went for surgery in Sime Darby Medical Centre. Dr Delaila was leaving her clinic and alighting her car when two men on a motorcycle snatched her handbag. She resisted and was slashed multiple times by one of the men resulting in two of her fingers being severed. A picture of the two youths has been posted on the Malaysian Crime Awareness Campaign Facebook page. Those with information on the case are urged to contact the police hotline at 03-2052 9999 or visit the nearest police station. However, on July 19, the parents of one of the suspects turned both of them in after suspecting their involvement in the crime.
