©The StarKUALA LUMPUR: Police investigations into A. Kugan’s death while in police custody are complete and only the second post-mortem report is needed before the papers are sent to the Attorney-General.
“The forensic pathologist concerned has informed us he needs between four and five weeks to complete his report.
“Until then, we hope all parties will be patient and allow the doctor and the law to take its course,” said Criminal Investigations Department (CID) director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin.
He reiterated that police had conducted a thorough and fair investigation into the matter, and there would be no cover-up.
Kugan, 22, was arrested on Jan 14 for suspected involvement in a car theft syndicate and was held at the USJ police station. He collapsed and died in the police station during interrogation on Jan 20.
The first post-mortem result revealed Kugan died of fluid in the lungs. All 11 policemen allegedly involved in the questioning of Kugan have been reassigned to desk duties pending investigations.
Selangor police have recovered 19 luxury cars believed to be stolen by the syndicate said to be linked to Kugan.
The stolen cars – all Toyota models and worth about RM2.5mil – were seized in Port Klang and Puchong, said Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar.
Klang district police chief ACP Mohamad Mat Yusop told reporters three Toyota Hilux were found on Jan 20 by police in a container in North Port.
The container had been declared to contain furniture to be exported to Singapore.
Two days later, police raided a warehouse in Taman Mas, Puchong, and discovered 16 cars.
Five men have been detained.
In Kuala Lumpur, MCA Public Complaints and Services Department head Datuk Michael Chong in a press statement said non-governmental organisations and the public should cooperate with the police to combat crime instead of demoralising them.
