PNP prepares to bring Lim Sytin back from Malaysia

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is preparing to send a team to Malaysia to bring Alan Dennis Lim Sytin back to the Philippines for justice following his alleged involvement in the 2018 murder of his brother, Dominic.

Sytin was apprehended on March 22 in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, alongside an accomplice who was later arrested in the Philippines.

Currently held by the Royal Malaysian Police, Sytin faces violations of Malaysian immigration laws before he can be repatriated to face charges in the Philippines.

A PNP team will fly to Malaysia on Thursday or Friday as coordination with the Office of the Police Attaché (OPA) and the Philippine Embassy continues for his legal process and eventual transfer to Camp Olivas in San Fernando, Pampanga.

Sytin will await a commitment order from Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 7 before being held to face murder charges related to Dominic's death.
