<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The investigation into the attack at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor Bahru this morning, 17 May, now involves two university students who were present during the incident</strong></h2>



<p>Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain <a href="https://www.hmetro.com.my/utama/2024/05/1091322/2-pelajar-ipt-ditahan-kait-serangan-balai-polis-ulu-tiram" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> the two students, a male, aged 22, and a female, aged 21, were detained for their suspected involvement in the attack in which <a href="https://says.com/my/news/2-police-officers-killed-jb-police-station-intruder" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">two policemen were killed</a>.<br /><br />&#8220;They were detained for further investigation in connection with the attack,&#8221; he said, explaining that it made no sense for them to lodge a report at 2.30am for an alleged molestation case that happened two years ago.<br /><br />Razaruddin noted that while the students were filing the report, the suspect arrived at the police station on a motorcycle and proceeded to the back of the station, where he killed an officer and stole his gun.<br /><br />The <a href="https://says.com/my/news/intruder-shot-dead-after-killing-2-officers-at-jb-police-station" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">suspect</a> has now been identified as Radin Romyullah Radin Imran.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The IGP said that he is not ruling out the possibility that the two university students were decoys planted by the 34-year-old suspect</strong></h2>



<p>Radin, believed to have been a <a href="https://says.com/my/news/intruder-who-killed-2-police-officers-said-to-be-a-member-of-jemaah-islamiyah" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">member of the terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)</a>, was prepared in advance for the attack as he had a bag reinforced with objects including metal sheets, a piece of zinc, papers, and cloths stuffed in it. The IGP <a href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/crime-courts/2024/05/1051803/suspect-may-have-made-rigorous-plan-prior-police-station-attack" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> this was believed to be used as a body shield.<br /><br />&#8220;The suspect&#8217;s motive appears to involve acquiring firearms, although the exact agenda remains unclear. It seems that the suspect might have come to obtain firearms for that agenda,&#8221; Razaruddin said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Meanwhile, police have arrested 20 people believed to be members of JI in the outskirts of Johor in follow-up raids following the attack</strong></h2>



<p>The 20 suspected JI members rounded up include Radin&#8217;s five family members, who lived at Kampung Sungai Tiram Ulu, located just metres away from the station, <a href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/crime-courts/2024/05/1051841/ulu-tiram-shooting-20-suspected-jemaah-islamiyah-ji-members" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> the New Straits Times.</p>
