KOTA BARU: Police today obtained a further five-day remand order against the suspected gunman of the April 14 Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) shooting.

The remand order which ends on April 26, was obtained before Magistrate Ahmad Syafiq Aizat Nazri at the magistrate's court here.

Before this, the 38-year-old suspect was remanded for seven days to assist police investigation into the case.

The first remand order ended today.

Earlier, the suspect arrived at the Kota Baru Court Complex here this morning to have his remand order extended.

Clad in lock-up attire, the 38-year-old suspect arrived in court at about 8.35am.

He was escorted by several policemen.

Yesterday, Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar said police would seek a seven-day extension of the man's remand order.

In the incident last Sunday, the man allegedly fired two shots, believed to have been aimed at his wife, in KLIA's Terminal 1 arrival hall.

One of the shots hit his wife's bodyguard. The victim is being treated in hospital.

The suspect is believed to have bought the gun he used from a Thai national for RM5,000.
