Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the 38-year-old was arrested at 3pm today.

The Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director or the Kelantan chief police will hold a press conference on the arrest soon.

“Yes, I can confirm that an arrest has been made,” he told Bernama when contacted.

In the 1.20am incident, a man fired two shots at his wife at the entrance of the arrival hall but missed, and one shot hit her bodyguard in the abdomen instead.

The bodyguard was admitted to the hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.

The police had earlier said they were looking for Hafizul Harawi to assist in the case investigation.
