Fugitive arrested after 3 years over pregnant woman's murder in Kelantan
The 24-year-old man was detained by a team from the General Operations Force (GOF) Battalion 7 in Kampung Bukit Lata at 7pm yesterday.
Pasir Mas police chief Assistant Commissioner Kama Azural Mohamed said the suspect was arrested alongside another 24-year-old man.
"Police had earlier spotted a suspicious vehicle and subsequently detained the two men. One of them was identified as the suspect linked to the fatal shooting of a pregnant woman in 2022.
"Both men tested positive for methamphetamine in urine tests," he said when contacted.
The suspect, a local resident of Kampung Pak Jak, has been remanded for seven days to assist in the investigation.
The remand order, which runs until next Wednesday, was issued by magistrate Syed Farid Syed Ali.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
In 2022, it was reported that Farrah Emirah Mazlan, 26, who was seven months pregnant, was found dead with a gunshot wound inside a car by the roadside in Kampung Repek. She was discovered in her Nissan Cetiro at about 4pm.
Police later launched a manhunt for the man to assist in the investigation.

On a related matter, SAC Hakemal said the Central Brigade has also intensified its strategic operations to combat smuggling-related crimes along Malaysia's western maritime borders, particularly in the coastal areas of Selangor and western Johor. "Our ongoing operations are focused on deterring cross-border criminal activities, especially human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act (ATIPSOM). "Between Jan 1 and Aug 4, we conducted 10 operations in various parts of Selangor. "It led to the arrest of 15 'tekong darat' (land-based human trafficking coordinators), comprising eight Malaysians and seven Indonesians — as well as the detention of 224 undocumented migrants," he said. Further enforcement actions during two separate raids on June 21 and July 22 also led to significant drug seizures, he added.
