00:00 Police believe only one individual was involved in the murder of 6-year-old autistic boy Zain

00:08 Ryan Abdul Martin from the apartment in Daman Sara Damai, Petaling Jaya last week.

00:15 Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the one individual's scenario was based

00:21 on the leads, strangulation marks and signs of struggle found on the boy's body.

00:28 He told reporters on Monday that police are looking for one suspect and believe this case

00:33 involves only one individual.

00:36 He urged the public to refrain from speculations and give police space to focus on their investigation

00:43 based on the facts of the case.

00:45 Zain Ryan was reported missing last Tuesday and his body was found the following day in

00:51 a stream about 200 metres from the block he lived in at apartment Idaman.

00:57 Hussein said police are still scrutinising the dashcam recordings obtained from several

01:03 apartment residents.

01:05 When asked about the time the victim's body was disposed of at the stream, he said the

01:10 body was not found when police searched that spot in the morning but found it that night

01:16 so it is possible that the murderer disposed of the body there when it was raining heavily

01:21 that evening.

01:23 On the aim of inspecting the storage facility, located about 50 metres from Block R, apartment

01:30 Idaman on Sunday, Hussein said it was to investigate anyone who hung out in the area to ascertain

01:37 if the offender had been there.

01:40 He said police are investigating if the suspect is from within or outside, adding that police

01:45 do not want to rule out any possibility.

01:48 Meanwhile, apartment Idaman remains eerily quiet almost a week since Zain's body was

01:55 found.

01:56 Media members who were staking out the area from near Block R were told to clear the perimeter

02:02 as investigations continue.

02:05 Neighbours were mostly tight-lipped when asked about the incident but were hopeful that the

02:10 perpetrator would be caught.

02:13 Zain Ryan was reported missing at noon on December 5 before he was found dead the next

02:19 day in a stream located about 200 metres from his home.
