Police believe the suspect, whose last known address was a flat in the city, is still in the country.
'To date, the number of victims stands at four, all of whom are believed to be students or minors,' Shah Alam police chief Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said in a statement on Sunday.

Bodies of Malaysian family of 6 found in car in river
A family of six in Malaysia, including four children aged between six months and nine years, were found dead on Monday in a car submerged in a river. A couple aged 32 and 31 and their children were found in the back seat of the Proton Iswara car in Sungai Korok in Kedah two days after they were reported missing, according to reports by the local newspaper The Star. Rescue personnel cut open the car's roof and broke its windows to retrieve the bodies. Family members at the scene were seen crying while the recovery process was taking place. 'We have been searching along the Korok River road since the day my brother disappeared, but there are no clues because the river is wide and deep, and the water is murky,' said Nor Syafiqah Ishak, the younger brother of one of the victims, who is believed to be the father. 'Until this morning, when the water in the river receded a little, someone saw the end of the bonnet of the car, and we all went straight here,' he told reporters at the scene on Monday. On Monday morning, local fire and rescue authorities received an emergency call about a car seen floating in the river.
