KUALA LUMPUR: S. Usharani, the second wife of missing Indian millionaire A. Muthuraja, handed her mobile phone, purportedly containing two recorded conversations with a policeman and the main suspect in the suspected murder of cosmetics millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya, to Bukit Aman on Friday.
She was accompanied by Kapar MP S. Manikavasagam.
In one of the conversations, the main suspect had allegedly told her that he had lodged a complaint to the police over Mutharaja’s disappearance.
“I called him to ask about my husband and he told me that there was a missing person report lodged but did not say who lodged the report,” said Usharani, 24, who had flown in from Chennai to assist police in their investigations.
One of the recordings was purportedly of one "ASP Suresh" demanding RM1mil for the release of her husband.
Manikavasagam said they also handed to police documents, including a habeas corpus filed in Chennai requesting the court to assist in searching for her husband, and letters sent to the Malaysian police and Indian High Commission here.
Usharani said that Mutharaja's parents would be coming to Malaysia soon to assist police in their investigations.
"They will be giving their DNA," she said, adding, however, that she did know when they would get here.
Manikavasagam also claimed that two families had contacted him Thursday over the disappearance of two family members, who, they claimed, had met the main suspect over land deals.
He said he would only reveal the details to the police after the current case was solved.
Mutharaja went missing on Jan 18 and his wife filed a missing person report in September. His case jumped to prominence after police began investigating Sosilawati, 47, and three others — lawyer Ahmad Kamil Abdul Karim, 32, CIMB Bank officer Noorhisham Mohammad, 38, and driver Kamarudin Shansudin, 44, who went missing on Aug 30.
Police believe they had been bludgeoned to death in a farm near Banting, their bodies burnt and the ashes strewn in a nearby river.
Eight suspects have been detained, among them, two lawyer brothers.
Police believe that a number of other missing persons might be linked to the two lawyer brothers.
Meanwhile, in Banting, police, accompanied by a forensics team, returned on Friday to the farm.
Five suspects, clad in orange attire, including the suspected mastermind, were taken in, too, at 2.20pm
At 5.20pm police, the forensics team and the suspects left in nine vehicles.
