00:00Controversial singer Wee Mengchi has been released on police bill pending the autopsy report in connection with the murder probe of a Taiwanese social media influencer.
00:11In a statement, Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Fadiu Marsu said Wee, better known as Ning Wee, was granted bill effective today until November 26.
00:20He added that investigation papers will be referred back to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's Office once the autopsy report is obtained.
00:28Attorney General Dusuki Moktar confirmed yesterday that Wee would be released on bail as police investigations have yet to link him to Sia Yusin's death.
00:38Sia was found dead in a hotel bathtub in Kuala Lumpur where Wee had reportedly met her to discuss filming a video.
00:46Police said the two shared a special relationship without offering details.
00:51Wee was first arrested on October 22 after police found nine blue pills suspected to be ecstasy in his hotel room.
00:59He was charged with drug possession and consumption but pleaded not guilty and was released on RM4,000 bill per charge.
01:06He later surrendered himself on November 5 after the case was reclassified as murder.
