SANDAKAN: A group of gunmen who kidnapped two locals from the Ocean King Restaurant here, last night, may have had a "pointer". Sabah police commissioner Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman believed there was a "pointer" in the 7.26pm incident, adding police were establishing whether the victims were their main target. "At the moment there is no contact. We are looking into the background of all restaurant workers and will narrow down how these two victims became a target," he said in a press statement. He also said the Muktadil brothers could be involved in the first kidnapping after curfew hour was enforced at six districts within Eastern Sabah Safety Zone namely Kinabatangan, Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Tawau, and Semporna. In the incident, gunmen clad in camouflage uniform stormed the floating seafood restaurant at Jalan Pasir Putih and kidnapped Thien Nyuk Fun, 49, from Sandakan, and customer Bernard Then Ted Fen, 38. There were about 100 customers, including children, at the dining area and the suspects fled towards the open sea in a boat.
