NURIN JAZLIN MURDERED

(September 11, 1999 - September 16, 2007)

Nurin Jazlin binti Jazimin was an eight-year old Malaysian girl reported missing after
she had gone to a wet market located near her house in Section 1, Wangsa Maju, Kuala
Lumpur to buy a hair clip on the night of August 20, 2007. She was last seen being
dragged into a white van which the police were able to determine by enhancing footage
caught on a CCTV installed nearby. Her parents made a missing person report to the
police and a search for her was made in the subsequent weeks, conducted by several
organizations including the mainstream media and NGOs.

Murder
On the morning of September 17, 2007, a brand-new gym bag was left in front of a shop
lot in PJS 1/48, Petaling Jaya, discovered by the shop owner. It contained an unidentified
child's naked body which was stuffed in a fetal position; police believed that she had been
dead for more than six hours before the discovery. A cucumber and a brinjal were found
stuffed inside her genitals had caused her rectum to rupture. It was determined that
bacterial infection had contributed to her death. At the time, Nurin Jazlin's parents were
not able to identify the body as their daughter's due to the changes in her physical
features and it was even suggested that the child might be a foreigner, as she lacked
scarring which would be caused by the mandatory BCG vaccination against tuberculosis.
Her parents initially maintained hope that their daughter might still be alive, and were the
victims of several prank calls from people claiming that Nurin Jazlin was under their
care. Later DNA tests conducted however confirmed the body as Nurin Jazlin's.

Her body was later claimed by her family from the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) and
she was laid to rest at the Muslim burial cemetery in Taman Ibukota, Setapak, Kuala
Lumpur on 21 September after the Friday noon prayers.

Investigation
The nature of her brutal torture and eventual death at the hands of an unknown assailant,
suspected to be a psychopath killer,] sparked outrage throughout the country. Malaysian
media and Internet blogs have been filled with anger and disbelief in reaction to the case
and the murder is widely considered to be "the country's most horrifying crime in years".
The case also led to a statement by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi about the
possibility of publicising the list of convicted child sex offenders. Inspector-General of
Police Musa Hassan initially suggested that he would investigate whether Nurin Jazlin's
parents had been negligent, an offence which could lead to charges under Section 33 of
the Child Act 2001. The suggestion provoked public outcry, most prominently from Lee
Lam Thye, chairman of the Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation, who responded that
punishing the parents further would be unfair.

On 28 September, Federal Agents raided a shop in Section 7, Shah Alam, where they
arrested four men and one woman between the ages of 27 and 35 in connection with the
murder. The woman was released after questioning, while the men were remanded to
police custody for seven days. However, they were released unconditionally three days
later due to lack of evidence. Police then proceeded to put up an award of RM10,000 for
information leading to the arrest of Nurin's killer; an anonymous private businessman
agreed to match that with an additional RM10,000. On 2 October, police arrested an
Indonesian woman at a market in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan; when confronted, the women
attempted to swallow a SIM card she was carrying.

On 11 October, police released two video footage captured by a CCTV camera near a
shoplot in Petaling Utama, Petaling Jaya, where the sports bag containing the naked body
of eight-year-old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin was found. The CCTV footage was sent earlier on
26 September to the FBI to enhance the clarity of the blurred images. The first footage
captured at about 1pm on September 16 showed a motorcyclist carrying a sports bag
(with Nurin's body in it) and leaving it at the shoplot. The second footage recorded one
hour later showed a woman loitering around the shoplot who was later picked up by three
men arriving in the scene. The enhanced footage however failed to reveal the face of the
motorcyclist and the license plate of the motorcycle.
