PETALING JAYA:
The sister-in-law of the late Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan and her husband have been remanded for four days to assist in investigations into his murder on June 14.

Petaling Jaya Magistrate’s Court assistant registrar Hairol Azhar Mohd Ishak today granted the remand order until Sept 27 for the woman and her husband, aged 39 and 41 respectively.

Police arrested the couple at their residence at Kiara View, Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Taman Tun Dr Ismail at 10.20pm yesterday.

In June, it was reported that Nazrin had died in a fire at his residence in Petaling Jaya.

At the time, Cradle Fund confirmed that the post-mortem report concluded he had died of complications from injuries suffered when a mobile phone that was being charged exploded.

However, authorities later confirmed that Nazrin’s death had been classified as murder.

Cradle Fund is a company under the finance ministry, set up to develop technology entrepreneurs and ecosystem start-up companies in Malaysia.
