Those were the two numbers a suspect in the Nurin Jazlin murder case had often called or SMSed.
A friend of the suspect, Noor Fashariana Kasrin, 17, said the woman, in her 20s, was always on the phone while working at a stall of an expo in a hypermarket in Nilai, Negri Sembilan.
“It was always Abang or Ofi s Abang. But I do not know the contents of the SMS or what they talked about. She would always walk away from me when the phone rang,” said Noor Fashariana, who helps her mother at a foodstall nearby.
The suspect’s colleague, Mohd Shahkirin Zainal, 21, also said she was an SMS addict, her fi ngers perpetually keying the buttons on her cell phone.
“But she would walk away whenever she received or made calls. I don’t know who the person on the other end was.
“Once I told her what I would do if the killer was caught. I jokingly said I would pull his ears and slap him before asking the public to do the same.
Suddenly, she walked away and started SMSing,” said Shahkirin.
Her obsession with the cell phone was also noticed by her employer, Yap Tiam Sing, 40, who said the suspect had attended a walk-in interview.
“She only started working on Sept 3 with a salary of RM700.
However, I was told by the other employees that this woman was always SMSing and talking on the phone.
“I did tell her to ‘tone’ it down but she ignored me,” he said.
“I was disappointed but since the expo was only for one and a half months, I did not pursue the matter and told myself she would not be hired again,” said Yap, who only learned about the arrest from another employee.
He thought nothing of it until he saw the news on television.
He lodged a police report on Sunday.
“I don’t know anything about her private life and her activities.
“She said she was staying in Puchong but most of the time, she would sleep in the stall,” said Yap.
Another employee, identifi ed only as Nur, said on Sept 7, the suspect had told her that she had been stopped by police when she went back to Puchong.
“I also noticed a shopping bag containing new clothes and shoes. She also showed me her new ring,” said Nur, adding that the suspect had told her that Abang had bought all the items for her.
The woman was picked up on Sept 29 from her workplace.
Police seized two cell phones, four SIM cards and RM477 from her.
The woman fainted when she was taken to the Petaling Jaya magistrate’s court after she swallowed a SIM card which she had kept under her tongue.
She was taken to University Malaya Medical Centre after police obtained a remand order against her, while waiting for the evidence to be ‘fl ushed out’ of her system.
Police refused to say if they had recovered the SIM card.
Nurin, a Year Two pupil of Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Desa Setapak, was reported missing on Aug 20 when she went alone to a night market.
Nurin’s badly bruised body was found stuffed in a sports bag in Jalan PJS1/48, Petaling Jaya Utama on Sept 17.
The post-mortem report revealed that she had been sexually assaulted with a cucumber and brinjal.
The force was so intense that it ruptured her abdomen.
