Police said today they are investigating the deaths of former Permatang assemblyman Abdul Aziz Mohd Noh and his 43-year-old female personal assistant as a case of murder-suicide.
“We believe it was a case of murder-suicide,” said Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar.
Abdul Aziz, 64, and his female aide Siti Rohana Ismat, 43, were shot in the head while driving in Sungai Buloh near here this afternoon.
The former two-term Permatang state assemblyman’s car went out of control and crashed into the highway divider.
Initial investigations revealed that there were gunshot wounds on both the victims’ heads. The gunshots were believed to have come from inside the car they were travelling in.
Khalid ruled out any political motive because the shots were fired from inside the car.
The CPO said the pistol used belonged to Abdul Aziz and was found in the car.
“We have witnesses who say that there were only two persons in the car at the time,” he said.
The vehicle was headed northbound towards Rawang when the incident happened at about 11.30am.
Khalid said post-mortems indicated that Abdul Aziz sustained two gunshot wounds while his aide had a single wound.
He said there were two bullets and three spent casings inside the revolver’s chamber.
Police are tight lipped on the relationship between the two-term Umno assemblyman and Siti Rohana.
Abdul Aziz did not contest in the last general elections.
