Although a Special Task Force had been formed in Bukit Aman to
coordinate the inves�ga�ons into the Missing Persons and the
informa�on on the presence of the gold Toyota Vios in the days before
the disappearance of Amri Che Mat, it is unfortunate that the
Inves�ga�ng Officer, ASP Supari did not take any ac�on to inves�gate
and locate the gold Toyota Vios bearing PFC 1623 and its registered
owner. If the owner of the gold Toyota Vios could have been iden�fied
earlier, the owner of the car could have been called to par�cipate in an
Iden�fica�on Parade for Roeshan to iden�fy whether that person was
at all present at the scene of the crime at the material �me.
