KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 — The police bail for rapper Wee Meng Chee, or Namewee, has been extended for another 14 days from tomorrow until December 10.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said this was because police are still awaiting the toxicology and post-mortem reports related to the death of Taiwanese influencer Hsieh Yun Hsin, 33.
“The bail extension was made at 4pm today,” he said in a brief statement.
Namewee was remanded from November 5 to November 13 before being released on police bail until today, pending the victim's post-mortem report.
Hsieh was found dead in a bathtub in a hotel bathroom on Jalan Conlay on October 22 before being taken to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post-mortem.
The case, initially classified as sudden death, is now being investigated as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
Namewee is believed to be the last person seen with the victim.
