PETALING JAYA: Even as police made headway in their investigations into the
murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin with the arrest of four men yesterday, there was
disturbing news.

The investigations revealed the possibility that the sexual abuse and torture of
the eight-year-old girl might have been recorded for distribution on child
pornography websites.

A brief statement issued by Federal CID director Datuk Christopher Wan yesterday
said five suspects were arrested and two cars and five mobile phones seized.

However, one of the suspects, a three-month pregnant woman, was later released.

One of the men has a previous conviction for rape. Three of them are graduates
while the fourth is a diploma holder.

The four men, who were arrested in Shah Alam, were taken to the Petaling Jaya
magistrate's court yesterday where they were remanded for seven days.

The mobile phones seized are now the focal point of police investigations.

The suspects are not only being investigated for the abduction and murder of
Nurin but also for paedophilia activities.

A senior police officer told the New Straits Times they were not discounting the
possibility that Nurin had been the victim of paedophiles.

It is believed that text messages, sent through the five mobile phones, led
police to the capture of the four suspects on Thursday night and early yesterday
morning.

The contents of the mobile phones are expected to be examined by the forensic
unit of the Federal police based at the Senior Police Officers College in
Cheras.

Police believe the mobile phones may hold the key to uncovering the identity of
the killer(s) as Nurin's torture may have been captured on still pictures or on
video.

Nurin had foreign objects inserted into her private parts, which later caused
her intestines to rupture leading to infection, which was identified as the
cause of death.

It is learnt police have established that Nurin was not a target of a revenge
attack but was a victim of "chance".

There had been speculation earlier that Nurin could have been the victim of
revenge against her parents.

Police have also established that there is no connection between Nurin's parents
and the suspects in custody.

The arrests were made by a special task force comprising personnel from the
Federal police headquarters, the Selangor and city police contingents, and the
Petaling Jaya and Sentul district police headquarters.

Nurin's naked body was discovered in a sports bag under the staircase of a
shoplot in Petaling Jaya Utama on Sept 17. She had been missing since Aug 20.
