Probe into orang utan killings

 

 

KOTA KINABALU: Police have set up a special unit to investigate the killings of

three orang utan at a nature park adjacent to the Rasa Ria Resort in Tuaran,

near here.

 

Tuaran district police chief Deputy Supt Abdul Karim Abdul Bujang said the team

has not established the motives of the killings on Monday, in which two orang

utan were also injured.

 

& #147;We are looking at this case from all angles, & #148; he told reporters here

yesterday.

 

Sabah Wildlife Department deputy director Laurentius Ambu said that that the

injured orang utan had been sent to the Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre at

Sepilok in the Sandakan district.

 

Laurentius said the department was carrying out its own probe into the

incident.

 

The Rasa Ria Resort management said the viewing of orang utan at the nature

park had been suspended from Monday.

 

Its director of sales and marketing Davindaur Kaur said the resort was

providing full assistance and co-operation to the police and the Wildlife

Department.
