PETALING JAYA: A witness told the Sessions Court today that he believed in mystic elements, which drew him to conduct a search near a stream as he believed the missing autistic boy, Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin, 6, was being "hidden by spirits".

The sixth prosecution witness, Ahmad Nur Syaruddin Mad Zawawi, 36, said he and his friends had, on the night of Dec 6, 2023, gone to the back of Block R in Apartment Idaman, Damansara Damai, where the boy was last seen the day before.
