(Sept 18): The brother of deputy public prosecutor Kevin Morais, whose remains were found in a cement-filled barrel in Subang Jaya, today provided a DNA sample at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

Datuk Richard Morais, the younger brother of the murdered DPP, arrived at 8.15am and left about an hour later after giving the sample to compare with the remains found on Wednesday.

"I gave my DNA sample this morning. The hospital said the results will be out in a couple of weeks," he said.

Richard, hospital officials said, was accompanied by another brother when he arrived to give the sample at the hospital's forensic unit.

Kevin, who was attached with the Attorney-General's Chambers, was reported missing on Sept 4 after he left his Menara Duta residence for work.

His body was stuffed in a gunny sack, put into barrel filled with cement and then dumped in a swampy area behind a primary school in USJ 1, Subang Jaya.

A post-mortem was conducted at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital and the cause of death is expected to be announced soon.

Police have so far arrested six men, including a military doctor - a colonel in his 50s - who is attached with the pathology lab at Hospital Angkatan Tentera Tuanku Mizan, and who is the main suspect in Kevin's murder.

Kevin was the DPP in a 2013 case in which the doctor was charged with corruption.

Police said they were also looking for witnesses to the accident along Jalan Duta Mas in Kuala Lumpur at 7.51am on September 4, when the suspects had knocked into Kevin's car before abducting him. – The Malaysian Insider
