The 30-year-old suspect with three criminal records involving firearms, motorcycle theft and fighting will be remanded for seven days.

Yesterday, the man from Pasir Puteh was picked up about noon in Jalan Bayam here.

Kelantan police deputy chief SAC Din Ahmad said initial investigations revealed the killing of Wan Ishak Wan Ismail, 48, at Kampung Air Merah in Batu Gajah was linked to revenge.

“We hope to pick up five other people to facilitate investigations,” he told reporters at the state police headquarters here today.

It was reported that Wan Ishak was hacked to death with machetes during an attack by six men disguised as policemen.
