In addition to the two Canadian brothers aged 22 and 23,who were detained earlier a Dutch national and a British woman were detained separately.
Three surrendered at the Kota Kinabalu District police headquarters and the other was arrested before boarding a flight at the Tawau Airport.
All four were confirmed by Sabah police commissioner Datuk
Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman as suspects in the infamous nude escapade on the summit
of Mount Kinabalu on May 30 and were remanded under Section 294 (a) of the
penal code for indecent exposure, which can land them a three-month jail
sentence, a fine or both.
Jalaluddin also could not ascertain whether requests to try
them in a native court would be granted.
However The notorious Canadian nudist Emil Kaminski,
reported to be the 33-year old adventure travel blogger and consultant who
headed the group of 10 who allegedly posed nude and urinated in the open on the
summit of Mount Kinabalu on May 30, is not among the four currently in police
custody.
Kaminski caused further furore with his derogatory insults
of the culture and beliefs of the locals through his postings on Facebook and
Twitter.
"With these arrests, we classify this case as solved and we now wait to charge the four in court," said Jalaluddin.

He is, apart from charges of indecent exposure, allegedly
facing further charges for insults on local culture and the people through his
social media postings and comments.
According to police, It is only a matter of time before Emil
Kaminski arrives in the clutches of police after four of his accomplices, served
with four-day remand orders in the Kota Kinabalu Magistrates Court following
their arrests yesterday.
Jalaluddin said, another German national who was arrested at
the Kota Kinabalu International Airport 2 (KKIA2) on Monday was however
released after questioning.
"He was with the group, but he was not involved in
their indecent activities. He was also not in the pictures that went viral, so
he was released after giving us his statement and information," said
Jalaluddin.
