PETALING JAYA: The second suspect linked to the robbery--cum--assault and abduction of former kindergarten teacher Teoh Soo Kim, who is still in a coma, will be charged tomorrow.

Police are still looking for three more suspects, a police source said.

The second suspect, who had 90 per cent resemblance to the image of one of the suspects caught on CCTV, was arrested at a hotel in Puchong last Friday night. Checks revealed that he has past criminal records including one for a car break--in.

The first suspect, aged 48, arrested in Ipoh on June 9, was released on police bail after being detained for five days.

Meanwhile, the condition of 51--year--old Teoh was worsening.

Her son, Tan Jing Hua, said doctors have told the family that she was getting weaker by the day.

Teoh was first reported missing, by her husband, on June 6 when she failed to return after leaving her house in Bandar Kinrara 2 at 7am to pick up a student for class.

Hours later, police were told a woman had been found unconscious with a fractured skull in an oil palm estate in Kuala Selangor.

Police contacted Teoh's husband after the description of the woman matched his wife's. Teoh's ATM card was found to have been used to make two withdrawals.

The CCTV footage of the bank in Bandar Kinrara from where Teoh had withdrawn RM1,600 showed four men standing beside her.
