Eight gunmen involved in a new attack on Sabah island and who engaged police in a shootout last weekend have fled to southern Philippines, a Malaysian news site reported Monday.
A report on The Star Online also said a police officer abducted by the armed men was still alive and managed to contact his wife Sunday night.
The report described the eight gunmen as "masked" and "Filipino," who "fled to southern Philippines." (http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/07/14/Mabul-Kidnap-Husband-calls-wife/)
On Sunday, Malaysian media reported the gunmen wearing army fatigues killed one policeman and kidnapped another after a shootout at Pulau Mabul off Semporna in Sabah.
The report said the gunmen abducted Zakiah Aleip and killed Abdul Rajah Jamuan, 32. Rajah was buried Monday with full honors.
Zakiah "called his wife (Sharifah Erna Berson) last (Sunday) night saying that he is ok except that he is with some people,” Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told the Star.
But Khalid said they were not sure where Zakiah was being held, adding police was waiting for further calls.
He also said the police roughly knew the identities of some of those in the attack.
