Kugan’s death: Questions unanswered

By Neville Spykerman (The Malaysian Insider)

SHAH ALAM, May 15 — The police have already wrapped up their investigations into the death A. Kugan who died in their custody almost five months ago.

The suspected car thief was arrested on Jan 15 but died at the USJ 8 police lock-up five days later.

Datuk Seri Bakri Mohd Zinin said: “It’s up to the Attorney-General's Chambers to charge.”

The visibly-annoyed Criminal Investigations Department director said the police were only tasked with investigating the case.

“Which press are you from? Why are you asking me?” he retorted when asked for an update on the murder case this morning.

Earlier, 11 policemen were transferred to desk duty at the Selangor police headquarters after the death but questions on who is responsible for the death of the 22-year-old suspect remain unanswered.

When contacted, Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail did not want to comment. “I am not going to say anything, I am at a meeting,” he said.
