KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — A Pakistani remand detainee who escaped from Sungai Buloh Prison on Thursday is believed to still be in the country.
Sungai Buloh Police chief Supt Mohd Hafiz Muhammad Nor said a nationwide manhunt is under way to track down the 24-year-old suspect, Muhammad Hassan.
“The search area is still within the country,” he said in a statement today.
The man escaped from police custody at the prison parade ground at 6 pm on Thursday while getting out of a vehicle after arriving from court proceedings in Shah Alam.
