'Mickey' acid attack: Cops lift fingerprints believed to be that of splasher
PETALING JAYA: Police are analysing the fingerprints found at the scene of the acid attack on national footballer Faisal Halim at a shopping centre in Petaling Jaya last Sunday (May 5).

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said, as a result of checking through closed circuit cameras (CCTV) around the shopping centre, the suspect was believed to have touched several areas or places.

"We have already extracted some of the fingerprints that were left there, we are still waiting for the analysis of these fingerprints and it gives a positive picture and brings us closer to this latest suspect," he said when met by reporters after visiting the scene at the shopping centre, here, on Thursday (May 9).

He said, for now, police have not been able to identify the suspect because the suspect was wearing a cap and the CCTV was not pointing towards the suspect's face.

Regarding the suspect who was arrested earlier, he said his party was still conducting interrogations and no new information had been received.

"We are still carrying out the interrogation and it is still at the initial stage for me to share any developments," he said, adding that the police also contacted the two top managers of Selangor FC to take their statements regarding the police report made.

Comm Shuhaily added that no recent arrests have been made and asked the public not to believe any unverified reports.

Faisal, affectionately known as Mickey among fans, was attacked with acid while at a prominent shopping centre in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, at about 5pm.
