SHAH ALAM: Bukit Aman has vowed that it will not stop its investigation until the murderer of autistic child Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin is brought to justice.

He said an arrest would only be made if sufficient evidence was found.

"We evaluated this information as it gave us some public perspective that we think was worth looking into.

"Just like the general public, my officers are affected emotionally by the case.

"They are very motivated, even today they are still in the field, trying to process everything under the leadership of the Selangor police chief.

"But let me say this: We have not stopped and we will not stop. May Allah guide us and may the person who committed this heinous crime be brought to justice," he said.

On Tuesday (Jan 9), Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said forensic investigation in the case had not yielded any actionable result.

"We will look at the possibility of more arrests based on statements and evidence gathered," he told a press conference at Bukit Aman.

Razarudin said police were unable to ascertain the motive behind the murder.
