RAWANG, MALAYSIA: All is quiet at the home of private investigator P. Balasubramaniam.

Checks yesterday afternoon revealed there was no one at home, except for two ferocious dogs left inside cages in the porch of the single-storey extensively-renovated terrace house. The dogs were each left with a bowl of water in their cages.

Even the neighbours were in the dark on the whereabouts of Balasubramaniam and his family.

"Normally the family would be here but early yesterday the whole family left in one of their cars.

"No words were spoken when they left, it was as if they were in a hurry," said a neighbour.
