Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa said the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) confirmed the cats died from injuries sustained during the attack.
“The police have received three reports regarding the cat deaths at the university on Tuesday, Friday, and yesterday. However, no eyewitnesses were present during the incidents,” Rusdi said in a statement today.
CCTV footage from the affected areas revealed the presence of stray dogs attacking the cats, shedding light on the tragic events.
Rusdi urged the public to refrain from speculating on the matter, as it could lead to unnecessary anxiety. He encouraged anyone with relevant information to contact the Kuala Lumpur Police Hotline at 03-2115 9999 or visit the nearest police station.
Rusdi also reminded the public to report cases of animal cruelty directly to the DVS through their official platform, enabling strict action against offenders.
Yesterday, Bandar Tun Razak MP Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail called for immediate and thorough investigations into the cat deaths after the horrifying discovery of dismembered carcasses in UM.
Wan Azizah added that a comprehensive investigation must examine all facts to uncover the truth behind these unsettling events.
