It said marine policeman Kpl Rajah Jamuan was killed while a constable identified as Zakiah Aleip, 26, remains missing after shootout with the gunmen during an ambush at the Mabul Water Bungalows Resort on the island at about 11pm on Saturday.

Sabah Police Commissioner Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman said the gunmen might have rowed into the area with their boat and then climbed up the resorts jetty from the back of the building.

He said the suspects were believed to be commandos or militants, who might take revenge attacks against security forces or look for victims for ransom.
